Thoughts & Feelings - Experiments Combined.

Collage + Close Ups


(I added the pantone stickers for an aesthetically pleasing look.)

I decided to utilize my background marbling prints and combine it with my primary images.
I am focusing on showing emotions, good and bad. The backgrounds are vibrant so they were suitable for lighter, fun feelings. In this image I played around with composition before I stuck it down (which I should have documented).

In this image I 'cut' my classmates head to show how the mind is full of activity and I specifically placed it near the swirls as it shows the most movement. I also added in quotes from my survey to convey the thoughts of  our youth and what they feel during the pandemic.

This last piece is an A3 collage just to see how the image would look against this background. I specifically cut her hair in a 'wave' as it blended it with the round swirls.

Overall, I enjoyed this little task I set for myself as I'm starting to see how I could incorporate my art skills with photography. I really want to combine the two as I feel a strong connection to traditional art, yet my project is heavily influenced by photography and I think it's a good start.
