Square photos

I have decided that I will just concentrate my project on Chatham Dockyards. It is a classic example of a tourist attraction crawling with amazing things people dont even notice. I want to show the dockyards from my eyes, using photography and words. Here are some recent photos. I have decided to make them square as I believe it suits the abstract quality of the photo more than a standard photograph shape.

Scans of A3 screen prints on photographs

I think the textured text works nicely on the dull photographs and that the simple textured photos work best out of all I have tried so far. The photos look great large (A3) but I think they could go even bigger, I want to try A2 or A1 on a really thick textured paper. 

Would they work in a book?

How do they look as a sequence of images? The text is harsh but im planning on screen-printing it anyway.

Photos from hastings

Screen prints on photos from Chatham

Screen-printed some sayings that I made up to bring to life the meaning of my project. I think they work really well especially the portrait more abstract photographs. On some of them, the text takes away the detail of the photograph. I want to try the prints big, maybe A2 and try screen-printing again this size. More photography experimenting too!

Russell Mills and Ian Walton - Forward to Far

Love these! Wish I could have seen them in the exhibition. Russell Mills and Ian Walton use scrappy old materials and collage them together to make these beautiful textured pieces, the frame finishes it off perfectly. Beautifying old crap!

HDR and monotone experimenting

Here i have responded to Aaron Siskinds photographs by using monotone and finding contrast by merging 3 photographs of different exposures with HDR. I like how the contrast is high but you do not lose detail in the light parts. The monotone makes you concentrate on the texture in the images.
