So I will be taking photographs. And as an idea I could manipulate them in some way. Whether like the different way Olivia Bee has. She has manipulated her photographs in many different ways. The amount of different effects and manipulation she has used such as, the two at the bottom.....and many more...i don't know what they're called. Double exposure? that's just one. She's also developed photographs, so darkroom. That's two.
I love the two large photographs above, which are manipulated. They work well manipulated but then I guess if they weren't manipulated, I wouldn't know if it would go being manipulated or not. but It just goes well manipulated anyways. Like it's a memory. A not 'captured memory' kind of thing but like dream, mind, kind of memory. Deja vu almost.
I really love the different kinds of photos she captures/takes. It's strong. They're strong. Her photographs are strong. From her self portraits to her really intimate ones
Although her photos are a mixed of different scenes/scenarios you are able to see a similarity between all her photographs. They're intimate, close, grunge, strong, deep in some way. I don't know how to explain it exactly but yea, it has that feel. Kind of like you're invading their space but in a way that isn't. (I don't know what I'm saying now but yea)
(Evaluating this photo, just because.)
Having a shallow DOF in this photograph gives her the attention than it would if it was all in focus.
It suits being in black and white. I think if it was in colour she wouldn't be like, given that much attention. Like my eyes would be looking everywhere, i'd probs look at the background before I get to her.
Just a few more of her other photographs. (I would literally end up uploading all her photos.)
The props she has as well is amazing. I think that is what amazes me the most from her photographs (without realising it). Such as the photograph on the right ('Scream' kind of thing)
Her photographs are literally self portraits and her friends.
I just searched her up, Kurt Soller explains her work better.
Kurt Soller of New York described her work as "dreamy, seventies-inspired photographs of maybe-wasted, increasingly famous young people who just want to have fun, injected with ombré washes of color (often pink)"
(Exactly that)
