I didn't have an individual post for these photos, so here it is

These photos are on the bottom half of panel one. I used the mask to sort of frame the titles of the three children's fantasy books, Harry Potter, Peter Pan and The Hobbit. The blurred glitter of the mask in the image with Peter Pan also gave me the idea to use the same thing again in the next set of photos at the bottom of panel one, with the Rene Magritte concept of filling the silhouettes of the chess pieces with the blurred glitter.

Even more photos

These three photos are on panel 2, above the gridded photos from the previous post. Like most of my other photos, they include the contrast of light and dark.

They also relate back to these three photos from panel 1, with the grouping of the objects together, in book + chess pieces, mask + book, and chess pieces + mask.

Top of panel 2

These six photos are going at the top of panel two, in two rows of three. They tie back into the top of panel one, with the simple photos of the individual objects.

New photos + new artist model

These sets of photos are going at the bottom of panel two, to finish my folio. They were influenced by a  photography video Mrs Clemence showed me at the beginning of the year, of light being moved around objects to create different shadows. I thought the idea from the video would work well with my concept of light and shadow creating mystery and intrigue around objects.

They also introduce a new artist model within my work, Maurizio Galimberti. Galimberti uses the grid format to create a series of photographs of one subject, called a "photographic mosaic". The viewpoint of each photo is shifted slightly, to create an extended, multi-dimensional image of the subject. 

First panel finished (actually finished this time)

This is my first board which is finally finished. I've changed a few of the photos in the first two rows and added the chess silhouettes in the bottom row. Those new photos give me a new artist model, Rene Magritte. He's a painter who uses images in the silhouettes of other objects, which is what I've done with the chess pieces and the blurred glitter of the mask.

Folio board #1 (almost)

This is my first folio board, almost finished.

There's another row of photos that I need to edit a bit and then add to the bottom, and I want to edit some of the other ones a little more, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Next: incorporating artist models in my work (after actually finding artist models).

Lotsa new photos

Here is a contact sheet for all of my new photos from last week and today, working around grouping and arranging my subject matter together. I still want some help deciding which ones should go on my folio (hint hint, Mrs Clemence).
