Concept - For this strand I will be experimenting with distortion of the face. I will do this by scratching into physical prints and also using photoshop to digitally alter the photos. The marks I will etch into the photos will be a way of outlining the contour of their face. Dryden Goodwin is a British artist known for his intricate drawings, often in combination with photography and live action video; he creates films, gallery installations, projects in public space, etchings, works on-line and soundtracks. These photos are from an exhibition called Cast which took place in 2008. Goodwin took photos of people on the streets and on public transport, he etches into the print surface of black and white portraits he has made of passers by on the street and also draws into the photograph using a digital drawing tablet. This artist's work relates to my concept of distortion because although Dryden's portraits are still clear, the way he works into them distorts the faces of these people and makes the portraits seem even clearer because he defines intricate lines in the contour of the faces. I experimented with editing the photos and making them black and work to reflect Goodwin's style because the majority of photos in his 'Cast' series are black and white photos. I think that in terms of drawing inspiration from the photographer, I prefer the photos in black and white.
