I typed in various words in to pinterest including depression, anxiety, bipolar, split personality along with the word photography to have a look at work I could see.
I came across a range of images that looked similar to my ideas and inspired me further:
These are my final images that I will be exhibiting: I chose this 8 because I liked the framing of these ones best out of them all and I felt I really captured the facial expressions the best in these 8. The atmosphere is exactly how I wanted it to be giving off a dark, negative mood which I think really helps towards the narrative of mental illness. I was also please with the grain and blur in these images giving the appearance that they were taken with film They were edited in Lightroom and I then added a frame using Photoshop, this is how I did it: The first thing I did was open the frame I then resized it to the size of my final image I then changed the blending mode to screen so that the picture underneath would come through
Mounting There are a few options I am thinking about due to having not measured the space at the exhibition yet: 1) Have a 1mx2m board with my 8 final images on and 3 large prints around 50x70cm with no frame, probably printed on canvas to make them ready to hand on the wall. 2) 6 of my final images in black frames or on canvas. The image will be in the centre of the frame with a white card border around it. 3) 4 of my prints in a black frame with a white border and a board 1mx2m. Example and diagram: I would like something similar to this but places in a black frame. Sequencing The images numbered: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
This is the space we have been given for our month long exhibition in July: From viewing these images I drew up some diagrams of how I might set up my work on display. I drew up my plans giving myself half of the space as I am collaborating with someone else: For this one I drew it up showing 8 prints in total. Due to the space they would probably have to be around 30cm by 40cm each. As I wanted large prints, if I only used 6 images I could make them larger, around 50cm by 62.5cm For this I included a stand which would be around 1m by 2m and I would have 4 images on that and 4 images on the board. Each image 30cm by 40cm if it fits. I have a board for end of year show with my 8 images on and a description already so I thought I could use this and show 3 large prints of my 3 favourites on the wall, possibly 60cm by 80cm depending on the space. This is the board I designed that I am using at my end of year show and possibly at the exhibit...
