Tomorrow: an incredible stationery shop and a nice bit of Miró.
These pictures are made by snapping women in the street with my phone, then working from the photos to paint a composite image on a A1 sheet of paper. The painting was done over a period of a couple of hours.
As I’ve just offered this idea to a potential client (painting their customers), I thought I’d better try it out and make sure it works.
I’m quite pleased with the results, and I’ve noted a few ways the whole thing could be easier, so it was worth doing a trial run.
Thank you – and sorry – if I photographed you yesterday! When I looked closely at the photographs, it did look like plenty of the subjects were looking straight at me, doubtless wondering what this strange person was doing pointing her phone at them.
Luckily, if the actual project goes ahead, I’ll be photographing people with their consent, and in a controlled environment.
And if it doesn’t? Eh, well… it’s all practice.
