This is my first ever blog, so i'm not too sure what really to expect and also what to write!! I hope it all goes ok, i'm going to try to get really involved with it and write at lease once a week with images that i have found, whether they be from the internet or in magazines etc. so here we go..... Week1 :)
My first ever project is to create a digitally manipulated imaged based around the theme 'incongruous' - as I didn't really know what this word actually meant... I of course had to google it!!
"Someone or something that is incongruous seems strange when considered together with other aspects of a situation"
This photo is by Nick Knight, he is a British photographer known for his personal, experimental vision, resulting in work that exists outside the conventions of fashion photography. I researched his work for my digital manipulation project, he has done a whole series like this but i found this image the most interesting.
He has made it look as though the man in white is kicking the head, shattering it to pieces. This is a really effective 'incongruous" image.
"Nick Knight is one of Britain's most innovative and influential photographers and image makers. He has pushed the boundaries of commercial and editorial photography and collaborated with leading names in contemporary art, design, music and fashion."
