This is an image I created during my second year at Uni. I have always liked the image although it is a trifle too manipulated. My problem has always been that I have never been able to find a appropriate title for the image. Man and boy is only for this blog. I handed it in as untitled. The image still has an impact on me although I am not sure why.
Any ideas for a title.

The image is really interesting but I'm not sure about the manipulation. There are other ways to do what you are trying to achieve here. The silhouette almost detracts from what you're trying to say.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange that the silhouette always causes a problem in this image. I started with the idea of a silhouette and then added the naked vulnerable man and yet it is the naked man that always attracts the attention. I think that people are right the silhouette does not work and that the image would work better with just a less manipulated version of the man. I would still like to try and make a silhouette work and maybe find my original art work and try and just publish the original photo. I do think this piece worked better on a larger screen but have never been happy with the coupling. Thanks JC for your comments though.
ReplyDeleteit is weird though, if you drew a line down the two images and just separated them, then they work as two images (manipulation included) but somehow the 'marriage' of them both together jars with me.
ReplyDeleteNo ideas for a title!
