A while ago I came across an online tutorial on making your own faux statue and in fact I have seen a few people do a version of this concept. Not too hard, a bit like marrying ballerinas and tulips, it’s just layer masks and blending. However the concept was in the back of my mind when I shot the mud maid the other week and I knew I had some busty sculptures in the bag – which were photographed at the Trinity Library in Dublin and I had already mentally paired the two. The textures are courtesy of some more billboard poster grunge snapped in NYC last week as well.
I can’t decide between the color or the mono version…. what think you?
And just as a head’s up for my private students… I’ll be off and away teaching in France in two weeks time so there are only a few appointments left for lessons until mid June when I get back!
joanne thieme huffman - What a great look!
Sue Berry - Both are stunningly creative and imaginative but for me the b&w is more dramatic.
Chris - Well, I’m about a year or two too late, but I love that rusty/bronzey/caramelly tone of the left one. And you can keep working on her as much as I want.
