artists as photographers

Wednesday 25th March

Todays tasks:

1. Take between 15-20 photographs to begin experimenting with the technique you’ve chosen to explore.

2. Print if necessary to try out the artist/photographer processes yourself. These processes COULD include the following:

Photomontage techniques • merging two or more photographs

• taking parts of photographs away to reveal another image,

• taking a SERIES of photographs of the same subject at different angles and piecing them together)

• Playing with the composition of the photograph

• Duplicating the photograph and layering/pasting sections of the same photographs to create movement

YOU WILL NOT NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AS A FINAL PIECE AT THIS STAGE AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY OUT A RANGE OF PROCESSES TODAY.
