For my Location Photography unit i have been looking a lot into surrealist photography, for instance Philippe Halsmann or Diane Arbus. but now i have been looking into a bit more contemporary photography when i came across the work of Martin Stranka. a lot of his work focusses on the human form and somewhat on how it can be twisted and manipulated by light. i really love how a lot of the images are dark, and they have a warped feeling too them. check it out!!

Here i have tried too recreate Roy Lichtensteins work. i actually quite enjoyed the process and it is still yet too be completed. I started off with the lightbox just too trace the outline then continued with acrylic paints, the black outline was what suprised me most. It looked almost like a negitave and for me this really stood out. It also brought screenprinting too mind as it is the kind of stuctured image that you could print.

These are the 6 photos that i took for the start of my photography unit. im feeling a bit nervous about this unit especially as photography is not really my kinda, area of interest lets say!! i enjoyed taking them but feel like this units going too be the hardest of this block...
