Physical Experiments

Here is a physical experiment I have made from my last shoot, a series of images taken in Camden where my band played a gig.

This shot is of me and two of my friends who play in my band, I decided to cut us out of the back drop which had camden town bridge. I thought since we're the main subjects it would be effective to put all attention on us against a white back drop, emphasising our clothing, ultimately the subculture that we represent in out stature and clothing, against the blank backdrop we look almost invincible and our friendship is evident within in the physical experiment. Furthermore, I decided flick paint on to our cut-outs and the white backdrop, I thought the image needed it due to how bare and stripped back it is, the odour just adds a little aesthetic edge to the image. I chose to flick; green, yellow, blue and pink as I thought they were quite fun colours against our clothing and the white page. 

Despite the fact that I am fairly happy with the outcome, I think the experiment struggles to have any deeper meaning or contribution to the original image, due to the nature of my documentary photography, I don't think that physical experiments suit my project and style of shooting.
