This is why I chose this Threshold Concept, it really make you think on how and why this disguised and warped photograph makes you as a viewer feel so connected to a particular photo. Not only that but it may also bring you back to a time in your life that you had previously forgotten about. Believing everybody has a separate understanding to a photograph and although some may be similar no one person has the same understanding as you and that is why I feel as if disguise really feeds into this concept of the past and present because the word disguise also has a different meaning for everyone and is not specifically the same as the dictionary definition.

I really like how my images turned out and how they take inspiration from the original photo but don't stem too far away from how I like to take and edit my photos |

Although I do like how my images turned out I would like to have tried to do one photo completely matching how Blalock does his photos, but my editing tools were limited. |
Due to react occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic everything has been forced to change across the world and the world has been pushed into a new norm of living. This has become extremely apparent in schools, masks and badges indicating our year groups have been made mandatory to the uniform and mixing with people not of the same year group as you has become forbidden. The arts subject has struggled the most with this pandemic, especially photography. We are not allowed to leave the classrooms to take photos and using the dark room to develop our photos and film, as well as this we have been restricted to half a desk due to the social distancing rules put in place by the government, However even with all these new restrictions I'm excited to see how this new constraint will affect my work and I'm able to see how I can adapt my creative skills to a compromising situation. Artists are good at challenges and limitations because of money restrictions and being inventive and imaginative with little material and space, reusing old projects and making it into something new.

This is my favourite photo because it is so simple yet is quite elegant, its not a drastic change which i think makes it look much better and the face blends in which the original photo so it takes a moment to see whats different and once you do it comes as a surprise.

I would have liked to had possibly made cleaner cuts to make it look a bit less choppy and to have made it blend in better and look more seamless.

Matt Lipps is a photographer who uses old magazines to create new photos. He tends to cut the photos out either into silhouettes or organic shapes and then stands them up behind a plain background or layered with other cut outs.

Daniel Gordon is an artist who uses 3D photography. He takes photos that either he has made or he has found and recycled to create sculptures. He uses intricate cuts to get his final projects. The use of shadow to create additional layers without compromising the original structure of the photo.
I find his work to be very interesting because of the way that he is able to create such detailed images without making them look too crowded. |

The image shows a multi-dimensional sculpture which is made up of coloured card and specific parts of a woman's face. He uses the card to create shadows which creates different variations and views of the woman.
The artist has use the art of perception in this image to add layers in the image through shadow and pop outs of card to give a different impression of the image depending on were you look at it. As well as this the use of colour in it draws the eye to different places in the image as well as the intentional placement of cut up photographs creates a different meaning to the image to each person who looks at it. Personally I like this image because of the different textures in the image creating stimulation in the brain as it recognises what those textures feel like and it forms a type of comfort for the person looking at the image. |
