After developing and enlarging a number of photographs using the technique of placing random negatives on top of each other, I saw 4 pieces which seemed to fit together in a series. This series uses a mixture of aesthetic qualities from architecture and shots of people (mainly crowds) to create an abstract feel and make the audience come in and engage with the images more closely. These photographs got the reaction I wanted from my friends and I think they are successful as per my objective, in that I wanted to create an abstract world that made sense.
I have left scratches and marks from the negatives visible on my final prints, as I still wanted to comment on the fact that errors and imperfections are a fact of life, and that it is unnatural to want to see something completely perfect. As my images are abstract, they are not a true representation of real life, and I feel being able to see scratches on the prints adds to the experience of viewing my images.
