How i made my Nick Chaffe style photo



- First I used a red brush to paint on devil horns, teeth, red eyes and a grey tie.


- Then I used the line tool to get a turquoise line. 


- Then I used a greyscale filter only on the person.


- To finish it off I curved the lines, added some more in and put bubbles around the person to make my final image.

Christmas photo's contact sheet.

These are photos I took over the Christmas holiday period in the style of Richard Billingham.Billingham was born in Birmingham and studied as a painter at Bournville College of Art and the University of Sunderland. He came to prominence through his candid photography of his family in Cradley Heat, a body of work later added to and published in the acclaimed book Ray's A Laugh (1996). Ray's a Laugh is a portrayal of the poverty and deprivation in which he grew up. The photographs, which were taken on the cheapest film he could find, provide brash colours and bad focus which adds to the authenticity and frankness of the series. Ray, his father, and his mother Liz, appear at first glance as grotesque figures, with the alcoholic father drunk on his home brew, and the mother, an obese chain smoker with an apparent fascination for nicknacks and jigsaw puzzles. However, there is such integrity in this work that Ray and Liz ultimately shine through as troubled yet deeply human and touching personalities. The critic Julian Stallabras describes Ray and Liz as embodiments of "what is in legend a particularly British stoicism and resilience, in the face of the tempest of modernity.

Martin Amis style photo

Martin Louis Amis (born 25 August 1949) is an English novelist. He has received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his memoir Experience and has been listed for the Booker Prize twice to date (shortlisted in 1991 for Time's Arrow and longlisted in 2003 for Yellow Dog). Amis served as the Professor of Creative Writing at the Centre for New Writing at the University of Manchester until 2011. The Times named him in 2008 as one of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
Amis's work centres on the apparent excesses of late-capitalist Western society, whose perceived absurdity he often satirises through grotesque caricature; he has been portrayed as a master of what the New York Times called "the new unpleasantness". Inspired by Saul Bellow, Vladimir Nabokov, and James Joyce, as well as by his father Kingsley Amis, Amis himself went on to heavily influence many successful British novelists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including Will Self and Zadie Smith.I liked this style because it's real not been made on photoshop.

My favourite final piece


I have chose this as my final piece because I think its a final piece as it is a abstract version of Jane Bown and the shade is different.In my opinion Jane Bown made her photo's how they are so there isn't anything in the background to take the attention away from the person's face.
