“Of course [a mask is] something that’s useful, it’s necessary, but it’s also something ugly, because it takes away all the poetry, the spontaneity of life away from people. The more organized society, the more we have these masks.” Saul Steinberg
This is a self portrait from the series Them made by Danny Treacy. What i can see in this photo is that one half of the costume is different to the other. It must of took a while to make the costume. Treacy has chosen to use colour against a black background to make the figure stand out. The kind of self portrait this photo is, is a mask and costume photo.
This is a self portrait called Malick Ambar made by Omar Victor Diop. What i can see in the self portrait is some orange and black football boots kicking an orange, black and white football. He is wearing a white dress with a blueish grey waist band and a white hat. there is a contrast of the green background and the yellow frame. |
I find this image most interesting because it looks like it has come out of a horror film. This is because it is floating and looks like a ghost is picking up the object in the picture.
The props in the image is an old radiator and a door frame. It all looks quite shabby and old. If I had to create an image inspired by this image I would use a pencil. I would throw the pencil and take a photo of the pencil in mid air. |
