Initial presentation

This presentation was to show my initial research and ideas. The artists I researched were surreal-based practitioners - painters and photographers for variety. My initial shoots were to explore a particular "visual" and a particular path I wanted to travel down. Manipulative/studio based, or staged and exterior. My tutor found the first interesting simply by the way I had presented the images, laying over one another with a fading transition on the presentation software - so the transitions were soft/gradual to the changing surreal expressions on the face in the photographs. The latter however, sparked more interest, perhaps because it carries more room for change/variety and potential. Perhaps because it was not manipulated, which tends to be preference over manipulation - it is real, yet surreal.
