Description

Suitable for organizing personal photography, independent publishing, exhibition practice, and lifestyle visual creation. Even when the original composition is ordinary, the background is cluttered, or the subject is small, you can reestablish a focal point through reduction, reorganization, cropping, and changes in scale—instead of simply applying a filter to the photo. The lower half extracts only the most recognizable subjects, contours, structures, gestures, and narrative relationships from the photo, reconstructing them as a paper-based mixed-media collage painting / mixed-media collage on paper. Do not copy every object from the photo, retain all elements, or reproduce the original scene. Actively remove most irrelevant background elements and details, keeping only the structures, visual direction, and visual memory cues that best represent the original subjects. Reinterpret them through paper collage, hand-drawn linework, a small number of color blocks, fragments of printed text, and negative space, so the connection to the photo above is immediately recognizable.
