Disney Zine

 We had a mini zine project where we were taught how to make and bind our own books, I based my first book around the fantasy and reality aspect of Disneyland. A form of escapism on a massive scale, I made the images appear as if shot on a polaroid camera and added faults with the processing by adding white spots. The main aspect was the blurring of visitors in the background - the 'anchor' of reality. The book was to be viewed as the eye point of someone within the dream that was Disneyland. 

Below are a view examples of the images used. They were presented on handmade papers with relevant illustrations alongside and merging on each page to give it a diary like appearance. 

Doorways and Magic II

I tried merging some of my other photos within the previous shots, some were more successful than others. I found that to achieve the best result the location image ought to match the perspective of that of the hole it was being placed within.

I also found that having elements of the image coming out and merging with the outside/real life image made it even more effective/believable. 

I experimented with some illustration work as opposed to photography. I do not own the illustration work - I used them as examples to test how it looked.

Doorways & Magic

I made a series of photos portraying magical entrances and passages using the everyday objects within my house. This set shows the objects closed/as they normally would appear. My next set will show the entrances revealed - a new scene/location edited into the passage way. I did a standard and a polaroid style shot for each object.
