How i created these images-
These images were done in the college studio with a tripod a soft box and a reflector. The images were inspired by HANNAH HOCH.
Image one -
To create image one we used the studio with a white back drop along with a soft box, a reflector and a tripod. The camera was set to 1/25. F8 with an ISO of 800. To edit i used photoshop to digitally manipulate the models face rather than physically. To get the look i desired i used "The book of makeup" by Lisa Eldridge- i scanned the models face and transferred it to photoshop. In photoshop i added another layer to the background i then added a mask to fit several of the elements together , later i resized the woman's face to fit Kundai's face in proportion. I then used the warp tool to blend and then made the image black and white to flow seamlessly. The reason for doing this was to see how well i could digitally manipulate an image like and to see how morals and ethics could be tested in photoshop.
Image two-
Image two was created similarly to image one by scanning a model from 'the book of makeup' once again. This image is more related to Hannah Hoch as it is visibly disturbing as well as being able to see how the two images should not join together, To create this image i cropped an eye out of the model and dragged it over to the image of Tim. I then duplicated the layer of the eyes and flipped the eye around to form two eyes. This method is a lot easier than method one. I then turned the image to black and white and cropped the image.
Both of these composite images really stand out... Just a point of correction t, the shutter speed is 1/125s. Regarding your evaluation of the first image you need to explore the connotations and answer the question as to why you have transformed the image of your subject from black to white in terms of skin pigmentation. This has several fine art connotations... which I would like you to explore...
