Photoshop edit week 4

In the previous post I talked about how I achieved applying shadows to the faces to look like masks. However the photo edit I included wasn't finished because of the lack of connection between the camera and the mask faces of women in advertising. So here is the edit where I applied this connection...

In the edit I contemplated putting electrical wires connecting the camera to the faces but I don't this would have held much impact. Instead here I have used barbed wire to connect the two elements. I chose to use this type of wire because of the bad connotations it withheld such as death and wariness. I wanted this bad connotation because of my distopian view on the use of women in advertising and how they are turned into the "perfect" image, turning into cyborg like dolls almost. I applied the wire to my edit by doing a careful selection of the barbed wire original image used the magic wand I then rescaled the wires to fit the connections I needed. 

I still need to think about backgrounds I could use for the edit as it this edit doesn't seem connected or photographic at the moment. 

I also need to try out other ideas I tried out in my cut and paste experiments in the next week.
