I often think what would it be like if i were to place people within my work. What would this add to my work or storyline? Would it detract from what i am trying to do, letting the viewer use their imagination? Or would it in hanse the scene? By placing people in, it may make the scene more accessible to people and they in turn can almost place themselves in. Well this is something which i want to definitely explore when i feel as though i have the right scene.
There is the option of using Photoshop to place my people within the photo which i gain. However, i have this constant image in my head of someone standing in front of one of the images which i have gained, or the actual sculpture, and standing in the right place and them being somewhat hologram(ed) into place. I don't know how i would do this but i think it would have a really good effect if i were to be able to put everyone who is viewing my work right into it. For what i am doing at the moment, this stalking, it could prove somewhat eerie. It may lead them into believing that they were the ones being stalked and have been killed. Out of these two ways of placing people in my work, i definitely prefer the hologram to photoshop. Nevertheless, i have not go a clue AT ALL how to do holograms or even if i could do it at a reasonable price. I could look into live feeds and green screens though??
Maxime Delvaux and Kevin Laloux are Belgium photographers who make model scenes out of cardboard and photoshop people in. "There is no hidden message, we're just telling stories. Maybe a bit depressing but I hope we are between tragedy and humour." The compositions are very surreal, similar to Gregory Crewdson's. It is due to the people being in these scenes at first you believe they are real. The settings are very dark and create a very unnerving atmosphere to them. I really want to create this in my scenes. I really need to start looking into using light and darkness more in my work.
