Matt Wisniewski

These images by this photographer have been created using double exposure on photoshop, he has used portrait images and blended images of natural things into them, cropping them to fit around the face or body of the portrait, some of them he has blended into the face, some of them and some he has placed over the top but kept the shape of the face in the portrait. I think that this gives off a message of showing natural things such as waves and mountains and places these people may visit, within a portrait of them, and is a good way to show both of these things together in one image.

David Samuel Stern

To create these images this photographer has used weaving. By weaving two different photographs together in the correct way creating an outcome of an image that looks as if it shows movement. In taking the photographs to create these outcomes as well as weaving them together a lot of thought would of had to go into it to create a successful outcome. He uses different techniques in taking the photographs to create all different looking outcomes using the weaving.

Stephanie Rubiano

This photographer creates collages on pieces of wood using a variety of things such as old pictures and real insect wings. She saves and buys antique photographs to use when creating the collages as well as using old and broken down books to find text to make up phrases to add to the images. I think that the way she creates these are very clever and creative and turns old and plain pictures into something exciting and more interesting.

Mike Weber

Mike Weber used mixed media to create these pieces of work on different panels. He created a range of pieces including images of animals, as well as a few with people. All having different backgrounds, and include typography. He adds in typography into the background, relevant to the image, which helps to give the image more of an interest and meaning. I like how he combines different techniques to bring interest to the images.

Jennifer Loeber





In these images Jennifer Loeber has created diptychs, using old photographs of her mum and placing new images next to them of objects that have some meaning or relevance to the photographs. Such as the camera the first photograph was taken with, the lighter she used to light the cigarette she is smoking in the image, or the perfume she was wearing. Although it is not always obvious how the two images connect, it works well and is a good way to create this type of work, it creates a meaningful effect.
