Disguise
I picked disguise because I think that it allows you to try different aspects of the theme.

''The Punk Project is one of over a dozen series of photographs in which Korean-born New York photographer Nikki Lee pushes the boundaries of identity and place, of who we are and how others see us in proximity to the people we choose to surround ourselves with. She places herself within the frame of her images, transforming herself into the documented subject after constructing the context and setting the stage. She performs identity – reinventing herself with the stereotypes, media hype, codes, and clues that look into and out from a given community, infiltrates that community, and presents us with a new version of herself. She is a respectful tourist shopping for who she is within a subculture, stretching the very skin of her own identity to find a fit. Her images dig deep into the construction of community and ego, of social roles and what it means to be self-defined and/or categorised by someone else''

1) I took the idea of layering personalities through pictures so I decided to take a picture of Busras' face as it was and use that as the photo that would go at the bottom of my piece.
2)Then I painted her face with white paint to make the picture brighter and so the different layers are clearer.
my First Final Piece
This picture was taken in the same position as the first one so when I merged them together in Photoshop they would be roughly in the equally layered. I dragged both pictures into Photoshop and put the second one on top of the first. Then, I made different sized circles randomly all over the face but not the background as I wanted the faces to be the main focus.
Louis Vitturi Dalston Anatomy
The Photographers Gallery Dalton Anatomy Trip
We went on a trip to the photographers Gallery to see the Dalston Anatomy exhibition and we had a talk from a curator who explained the process behind the creation of Lorenzo Vitturi's work.
The carpet in the exhibition is a poem which was written by a man who recited poems on the streets . He was employed to write a poem about Dalston Market. He walked down the market every day for a week and wrote this poem. This carpet on the left is an extract of the written poem which has been custom made. The orange line was put in as it directs people who entered the room to work on the wall and the colours in the pictures linked together. The pictures on the right are of the rest of the poem which was placed in a book that it is also in the gallery.
Whilst we were watching a video on Lorenzo Vitturi's exhibition we made mind maps his work and how it links to our theme.

my Second Set of images
I decided to take lots of pictures from a different angles so that I could weave 2 slightly different pictures together.
