My Theme

The overarching theme we were given to work around was the theme of 'Relationships,' and I began to think of ideas I would enjoy producing relating to this. One such idea was to explore the relationship between the world and video games, an idea which I originally discounted as being too difficult to translate to a photographic medium. However, upon seeing the work of certain photographers, such as Benoit Paille, I realised that there were interesting ideas waiting to be explored. 

Why Video Games?

Video games have always been a beloved hobby of mine, and I also know a fair amount about the industry itself. As such, I had issues I wanted to explore, both serious and more comical, with regards to this. My skillset lay mainly in digital image manipulation, and this woud be a perfect way to incorporate those skills, given the heavily-edited nature of my ideas. As such, I cannot provide long contact sheets containing hundreds of tried and discarded images; each one of my photographs was very deliberately taken to be used with Photoshop, to produce a select few final pieces and achieve an objective of some sort. What I can provide, however, are examples and evidence of how my edits were performed.
