ANGELO / FIGURES - 13.02.2014.
After my image research I decided to start collaging and layering certain photos together. They're all either a combination of photos from the same holiday or old family photos over more recent trips to Italy. So far I feel like its going well and I am able to merge the images well to create some interesting viewpoints and layouts. I have found that this has been a good way for me to ease myself in by making quick and simple imagery in the space of a few days. I also played around with the layering effects on Photoshop to make certain photos or areas a different opacity or change the colours completely. This is has helped me to understand what works and whats doesn't in terms of aesthetics. as well as when it comes to the quality of the images for printing. I particularly like it when the images take on a completely magical and dreamy feel since this project is about personal memories. I've lined up a few posts with what I have created so far and I'll be posting those up today.

IMAGE RESEARCH CONTINUED - 4.02.2014.
I'd taken these photos from a more recent trip to Italy and are a mixture of a village called Tolfa, where my dad lives, and Rome. Comparing them to the previous photos these are more focused on landmarks, architecture, settings and specific objects. Although there are a few shots of family members mingled in between! I haven't uploaded all of the photos from this holiday on here since there are too many but this is just so you can get an idea of what I am working with.
INITIAL PHOTOGRAPH RESEARCH - 4.02.2014.
There was a huge gap in between my last post and this one due to focusing my time on writing my dissertation. Thankfully the hand in has passed and I am now free to get stuck into my project!
I have started to look into old family photographs of memories that I remember or feel very sentimental about. I also chose to look at more current photographs that I have from having gone to Italy in the past few years and it's been interesting to see the difference in what was more personal from older photographs to the more recent ones. I plan on putting these these images through Photoshop to see what collages I can create by merging photos together.
