Photo Manipulation

Photography is one of my most loved past times. The inspiration for this project was mixing delicate with edgy. I had a vison in my head that I decided to portray through mixed media. I find this a really helpful exercise to begin bringing your visions to life. I mixed delicate lace and embellishments, with feminine floral and hard rough brush strokes of pastel paint. This helped me to move forward with my project

I decided to take something delicate, like china teacups and photograph them. I photographed them normally and then broken. I wanted to portray the idea of shattered china through shattering the photos themselves. This contrast ended in interesting results.
