Body Modification .third_attempt

1 06 2008

“Body modification was my final project in laboratory class 3, which were about darkroom techniques. I chose to make multiple shot of a same subject and to cut the negative in pieces to stitch them back up, in ways i wanted to, not the ways nature made humans. This work is like a raw version based on one of the technique used by Jean-Paul Goude retouching technique. This shot and all the other shots from this series are done on Kodak 400TX that I developed myself and printed myself on silver gelatin paper.”

With the third attempt, I just played with length of the neck and with frame of the picture, thats it. Much shorter description, I like it, I guess…

do you mean jean-paul goude works with grace johns, if yes, I did inspired myself from it, wonderful work that is by the way.

and, indeed for this series, its all done by hand, no digital manipulation, tape & a scalpel is what I used

thanks, take care
