A collection of my most recent Photoshop editing using a variety of different background but keeping the same figure composition.

Today I thought I’d try out making a 3D image of my work using Photoshop – I was thinking that maybe for the degree show I could have a large scale photograph but in 3D so that it would need to be viewed with either 3D glasses or through a 3D viewing screen. This would add a degree of interaction with the work, and make it more interesting than a flat image.

What effect does adding a frame have? Using a simple style of frame helps with the vintage feel of the image. Thinking about if I would use a frame in my degree show – maybe the image wouldn’t be so large. If I wanted to increase the size of the image to cover the whole wall, I may need to commision a frame to be made but that would be really expensive. I’m not sure that a digital image of a frame would be as effective as an actual wooden frame.

A couple more Photoshop tryouts…

Trying out different Photoshop layers, colours and patterns. I really like the coloured versions of the image but it’s hard not to go overboard with the colour – maybe subtlety is the best option? I think the rich colours add to the surreal elements of the image, and make it seem less flat. I had an idea last night that I could maybe print the image so that it looks 3D when you view it with 3d glasses?

If I did that in the degree show, I would either need a large supply of glasses to view the work with, or maybe create like a stand with a 3d lens on it? It would definitely make the image more interesting, I could create the whole experience?
