12th September
Over the break I continued to develop images that I had taken prior to lockdown. However, this time I moved to digital images and sadly away from film for the more practical element during lockdown.
I started by treating the images the same way I had done film. Pasteurising, inverting, adjusting the curves and layering the original image back overtop at around a 60% opacity rate. For the most part this worked well and ending in a number of interesting results.
Depending on the environment the image was taken led entirely to the effect on the image after being pasteurised. Ranging in a variety of different colours to giving a hallucinogenic feel to the image.
I then branched out further developing images out of order to discover the effects. Sometimes just pasteurising the image. Other times taking 2 images, one B&W and the other pasteurised and inverted, that were taken at slightly different angles and overlaying them with opacity knocked back.
After that I continued to explore and develop ways of working. Some of which are probably cursed and shouldn’t exist but it’s part of the process and others turning out decent.
