Linking in with the work on repetition, I thought it an idea to apply this notion to my work with the mannequins. Ideally when obtaining and photographing them I wanted a number of them in the same frame. However practicalities gone in the way (unable to carry dozens of mannequins to the areas), so I had to use photoshop to get the end result.
Technique:
- Select the original mannequin in frame, copy.
- Paste into new layer, and scale to appropriate size.
- Move to appropriate location in frame and change brightness depending where is placed in frame.
Note: too much digital manipulation will decrease image quality, as shown in some images below*
I definitely warm to this style, I find the images intriguing and bizarre.
I do intend to use the mannequins further, but perhaps in an even more strange set up. Perhaps suspending them, similar to Araki's style? It'll prove a challenge with ropes needed, but it's possible.
