How to take my edits further?
Listening to the feedback I received in the second week I have realised I should have done some cut and paste experiments first to gather starting points and ideas. In the feedback it was mentioned that the people/ eyes I used in my edits looked similar to women used in advertising campaigns in magazines. So in the next week I will look for women in skin care and hair adverts and interpret them as cyborgs. I have chosen to look at these adverts because of the way these women are manipulated by the camera and photographers in many ways, for example some women are manipulated using software to maybe look more 'perfect' than they actually are, through being made thinner or smoother skinned. The way these magazines interpret these women is often false, manipulating the view of both the readers and the women that are involved in the photographs. I want to combine my earlier idea of the camera and these women to come up with cut and paste composites that show the manipulated scenarios.
