Artist research

Adam Panczuk:

Adam Panczuk (1978) lives in Warsaw. In his work he travels to wherever he finds an interesting subject. He studied photography at the Multimedia Communication Department of Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan.

With his projects Panczuk seems to be asking questions, both directly and metaphorically, about identity, consciousness and attitude towards the lives of the people he meets along his way. Adam is a member of Sputnik Photos.

 MARCELO MONREAL:

Marcelo Monreal is a Brazilian collage artist who cracks skulls in the most beautiful way possible. Digitally splitting parts of models and celebrities faces (Christopher Walken and Kate Moss are among them), he fuses beautiful blooms with the broken shapes. Small, colorful flowers grow from behind eye sockets, in the place of noses, and out of mouths. This surreal series is called Faces [UN]bonded.

Cal Redback:
The collection of ‘treebeards’ sees the union of the human face and plant life, with half or parts of the features removed and replaced by the wild growth of greenery. Overall, the metamorphosis of mortal characteristics into alternate botanical life forms unite two categories of existence into one, redefining the term ‘human nature’ as a seemingly new species of hybrid creatures.

My own images:

I asked my sister to stand in various trees and bushes, trying to hide herself, showing the relationship between people and nature. 

Development

My chosen theme is the relationship between humans and nature. I've started to develop my ideas, I've completed a basic photoshoot, showing simple examples of how nature can take over man made objects. In later shoots, I will use techniques we have used when experimenting to explore my theme further.

Collages

Collages created by Merve Ozaslan, she called it the 'natural act'.

I tried out this idea using photoshop, cutting out parts of my own images and replacing it with my own  images of nature, such as flowers, trees and landscapes. 

I used the image from my chemigram to create a collage, showing how chemicals can affect plants.  

Analogue Black and White

Black and White Analogue Photoshoot

These are the images from my shoot, i think they turned out really well. I love how vintage they look and they have a slightly sinister look too them, due to the images being quite dark.
