Mayteana's Weekly Post 7



 
 
1. Asger has a very unique outlook on photography and he strives to push boundaries and create art. His images are done in black and white, appearing to be a couple feet from his subjects. His style is about body manipulation. His work is a composite of photography and Photoshop melded together as one.
 
2. In the first image at first glance it appears that the image is of an ordinary scene, a brief meeting or encounter, but upon further examination you can see that the guy on the left has two pairs of eyes and a longer deformed nose. The image is simplistic yet startling. In the second image it appears to be a mother and son taking a family picture possibly. What stands out is the boys one eye. Though they smile like nothing is out of the ordinary. In the last image a girl is posing on the floor but her bottom half is completely made of wooden planks.
 
3. I chose these images because they stood out. The simple nature you get from the body language from the subjects is such a contrast to what the actual image shows. It makes me feel uncomfortable but intrigued at the same time. The melding of Photoshop and photography is done so well you can not tell that it has been manipulated and that is what led to me bypassing some of the strange things occurring in the images.
