Manipulating reality
Manipulating reality
Photographers often create unusual compositions by manipulating the reality that an image presents. Paul Biddle carefully arranges objects, together with layers of collage, before digitally manipulating his photographs. Kevin Corrado combines photographs of landscapes and people using both physical and digital manipulation to rearrange reality. Eresha Sale combines familiar objects in unfamiliar arrangements in his film ‘Surrealism’.
i chose manipulating reality because i like the idea of making something different to what people think would be made and i like the idea of the different types of styles there are for example different photographers displayed it in different ways. another reason i chose it was because it was an interesting topic to choose and its also a topic that you can play around with that will also not be too difficult to do but is also a challenge because you have to think of different things to photograph and you have to think about if it really looks like you've changed it.

This is the first named artist I am researching. Kevin Corrado is a photographer who takes pictures in unusual ways for example he "manipulates reality" through his photography for instance some of his photographs have unusual ways of being displayed this is through either having a body part in the photo and having half one colour of the background and having the other half the skin colour or having a photo with a canvas/ photo frame and it has a shape cut out of it and in the shape it has another picture. This is a good way of portraying the photos as it is unique and it shows a different perspective of the photo
these are some examples of his photos
this is my attempt of manipulating reality |

This artist is an artist manipulates reality in a way this is through him finding people and either using an app or some kind of technology as well as him finding people to model for him for example the artist had to find people willing to model for him and who was willing to be nude and willing to let him take photos of them and make them look different from what they looked before. this relates to my theme as its manipulating reality by changing the shape of the actual photo/object.
