Personal Response - Erwin Blumenfeld

For my response to Blumenfeld's photography work, I chose to use the idea of duplicating an image and making it into a block outline then incorporated it with the original photo. To start, I used a colouring pencil filter on one of my images and changed the settings before erasing parts of the image so it was just the outlines of the flames that were left. I then proceeded to experiment with different blending options to see which option would make the outlines look more prominent within the composition. 

The reason I decided on this process is because I wanted to play with the idea of incorporating something real with something that doesn't look real, putting a spin on the idea of reality and truth. The solid lines and colours that are incorporated with the flowing flames create a contrast and attract the eye of the reader with the unusual shapes and outlines within.
