Day 55

A project I did last year focused on the textures of a wall in the student house I was living at the time the wall had a bubbling texture caused by an idiot landlord who painted straight onto concrete outside the kitchen. Returning to my student house in Portsmouth today I decided to photograph the chipping paintwork in this student house.

Day 54

Just some texture today. One of things I enjoy doing is taking a photograph of a rather boring subject and through the photographing of the object and editing on Photoshop making it into a completely different, interesting image. When I was doing my brick walls photograph one of the questions I was asked repeatedly was “Is it just brick walls you’re photographing?” yes I was just photographing brick walls as I knew that plastered walls would be uninteresting in comparison. Today I took three photographs of a plastered brick wall and edited it on Photoshop. I knew I could make a photograph of a plastered wall interesting but only with the added elements of Photoshop edits and layers.
