I like these images of the mask on Paul Strands face. I think it looks very organic and the colour contrasts brilliantly with the black and white. Contrast was a feature of my concept so I think this layout reinforces my ideas about contrast and organic things. I also think that the mask looks really cool in this shot although that render was part of my developmental shots. through this further experimenting I realized that with my creation of a mask it was more important how I do the layouts and make the organic mask appear rather than the overall form or structure. i am surprised how organic it looks and that makes this project successful.
Some Experimenting..........
These four images show some further experiment i did with Adobe Photoshop. I used rotating and scale as features to free transform my object to composite with Paul Strands portrait. I used the options next to the 'Opacity' regulator, such as dodge and burn etc as it reminded me of the dodging and burning processes used even in darkroom photography today.
i like this image the best as it reminds me of the overlaying techniques I used to construct my mask and also it reminds of a chemical stain on a photographic print.
I like seeing the colours contrasted to the black and white photo portrait of Strand. Although this image is quite dark it still lets the face of Paul strand show through.
I think these images portrait some kind of ghostly feeling like the mask is trying to say that Paul Strand is a ghost/dead. I like how his face comes through the mask and doesn't hundred percent cover it as it makes you feel like he can always see what your doing.
I tried to let this mask flow on top of his face and melt it onto it rather than just sitting it on his face. Unfortunately due to the edges of the cropped image I used, the mask does not look as organic as I would like it to be again considering my self-written brief and concept.
