In comparison to the meat project (see below) this was the project I actually wanted to do. I got into appropriation scans after that first scanning collage project and thought I could take it to the next level, combing it with street photography (which I have never really taken before). I basically combined a model from a magazine ad and placed it into a street photo, adjusting the colors and values to make it look more immersed. I attempted to show the ridiculousness of the advertising icons we attempt to model our lives after and how, when placed in a real life setting, these people would look like fools. Basically, I really enjoyed this project, especially since I was able to leave my comfort zone without needing to handle raw meat.
Shit, Shawn. I love this series!
