Idris Khan Influence

Testing

These are a collection of images I have developed through photoshop. My original artist model for these were Idris Khan, and through experimenting with his techniques I adjusted it to work better with my subject matter. The photographs labelled with numbers are the next to go on my second panel. (still deciding) 

Start of Panel Two

From my most recent photoshoot. It was based around the techniques of Bernd and Hilla Becher, where they take photos of every single angle of an object. I used this technique with my subject matter/model and here are the result.

Refining Ideas

I've decided to adjust my original concept of depression to something more relevant to society. I'd like to expand my concept my work on the typical teenage male who is a "rebel without a cause". So many of the male teenage population are rolling through there younger years: without purpose, without ambition and feel like they don't connect to society. I'd like to reference to James Dean's movie Rebel Without a Cause at the bottom of panel one to help connect to this concept.

Hans Eijkelboom Influence

I wanted to include his idea's of how he used himself to investigate the influence of appearance and clothing on the relationship between the individual and identity. He gradually changed into the relationship between identity and world view as he looked for a method to visualize how repeated daily observation and experiences form our world. To include his techniques and ideas I approached 8 other males to be present on my photography board. 

Motion Blur Developed

After finishing with the other motion blur images, I continued this editing onto my next images where I introduced colour. I decided to progress into long shot/medium shot for these images to capture how distant the male feels from the environment around him.

Motion Blur Photography

With these images I wanted to have elements of motion blur whilst keeping the main subject matter in focus. For these particular images I had no certain artist model influence as I used photoshop to create the blur effect.

At this point I wanted to experiment with the framing of images that I started at the top of panel one. To keep this idea going, I introduced a black background for the second half of my my first panel. The result worked quite well, and it created a systematic flow from the first images.
