As I was experimenting with photos taken of people who were off guard I was introduced to William Klein. He picks a series of photos that have been taken directly after each other on a strip of negatives. Instead I decided to take a photo off guard and using Photoshop change them into a negative but darken each one . This effect made a difference to the features of the face, when I placed acetate on top and painted over it complimented it well because of the negative background and the colour highlighted the important bit. One of the series of the negative photos didn't graduate to a darker shade, sometimes the paint could be a bit too much and overpowered the photo, but for the series it can work for deselecting the most important photo out of the series.
As I develop more I hope to try three consecutive photos to make it look more of a natural progression.I was happy with how well the colors complimented the photos i took an interest to white when painting i used a plate knife as it meant the effect made wasn't so much controlled . out of the 3 photos i had allowed one photo not to be covered in paint but to outline while the others ' scribble' out the facial expression. there was the effect of deciding weather which photo i was happiest with and the ones i wasn't i 'ruined'.
