Photocopier shoot

Photocopier shoot

The use of the photocopier distorts the face to create a strange effect, but the fantastic thing about it is the lighting. The quality and focus of the photos are perfect due to the lighting offered inside the scanner create a great depth of field as well as the pressing against the glass creating a really surreal effect.

I edited this one and lowered the black point so that it looked grimy and gave an almost western old time feel to it. The facial features are almost comical but create a torture-esque feel which is really cool.

I like the above on best because it creates a sort of caricature of the people in the photographs. I like the lighting and framing of the photos and how the pressed areas are so bright in comparison to the darkness of the eyes.
