Self Portrait-Idris Khan

This experiments was done by using a self portrait of me, and some inspiration from some other artists work.

The first one was was inspired by an artist called idris Khan and his work is that he takes photos of buildings and structures, and then edits them so that there are lots of the same photo just on top of each other, then he edits the contrast until it has the apparence of something like a sketch.

 

I had a go at trying this my self using Photoshop and the portrait of me. This was the final out come.   

 

To do this type of editing, I needed to use Photoshop. The first thing I did was to take the portrait of me and then open it in a new document in Photoshop.

Then I cut around my face so that the green back round that was there has gone then I made about thirty layers and copied the same photo of my self onto each one of them, but I also lowered the opacity on all of them so there were slightly see through. 

Then all I needed to do was move them out of line just slightly and keep making copy's to fill in where it looked a little to see through.

 

So now it was looking very similar to the type of work that Idris Khan. So the only thing left was to make it black and white just like his art work.
