Work by Hollis Brown Thornton...

Some amazing work linked to me by Stefhany.
Love the manual method used to crop and delete the subjects from the images.




All acrylic, pigment transfer on paper.

Hidden Identity...

More images i've found or had lying in my back catalogue of found images that hide or alter the face of the subject in the photo.



The image above is similar to an image i did late last year.

I really like the added meaning of hiding someones identity.
But i think if i was to do something similar, I'd edit the image after it was taken rather than have the model/subect wearing a mask.
More like the polaroids by Stefhany Yepes.

Portrait - Song Lyrics Assignment...

The relationship between song lyrics and a still image.

space masks...

I've been experimenting with portraits of my parents. Masking found images of stars and cosmic wonders into their hair areas. I really like the combination of imagery and the rawness of the portraits. Not very flattering for the models. but very honest and very real!

original portraits:



...found this image on a blog, wild effects with the green ooze combined with glittering stars.


having taken photos at different times, i wanted them to look similar as i think they'd work better next to one another...


masking in stars:



decided to add some geometric shapes to illustrate the relationship b/t my parents. They both wear glasses permanantly but both decided to remove them when asked if i could photograph them. works well.
