So far I have chosen 5 images that I want to use as my final pieces and display in the exhibition. Overall, I want to display 8 but I am yet to make up my mind on the other 3.
I chose this image because I think that the subject's outfit its stereotypical of the genre. I also like how the subject is standing as it is different to the other images below that I have selected. He is facing the camera dead on, whereas the others are slightly turned to the side. I also think that the added piece of yupo painting works well with the photograph as it is a similar colour to the subject's jacket.
I chose to use this image as the subject is very visually interesting to look at and he is about 10/15 years older than the rest of the subjects within the series. I think that by using this image it shows that psychedelia appeals to a wide range of people of all ages and the diversity within the fan base.
This image was chosen because I particularly like the bleaching and the subject's stance. The subject comes across as very confident and knows how she wants to be portrayed, which made it an easy selection. Part of the bleaching compliments the colours the subject is wearing, namely her handbag, which balances out the photograph.
I was told by several people that this was one of my strongest images and it was reminiscent of Diane Arbus's work. This was one of the main reasons for its selection into my final series. I love that there is a combination of awkwardness/proudness coming through from the subject. I think that the bleaching in this photograph was the most effective out of all of them put together.
