Miwa photo manipulation is amazing. The colours used are vibrant and very colourful. The photography is always changing portraying life of the women in Japan. Very interesting concepts.
The images below is created by Anthony Goicolea in photoshop. Each photo is merged in to the next very effective and interesting image. This took many different photos to compile the final image. Many hours spent creating the photoshop file using layers and masks.
He cloned the different images in photoshop spending hours before acting out the different scenes.
Photographer, sculptor and video artist Anthony Goicolea acts as the main character in the fictitious settings of his work. In his early “Fairy Tales” series, the artist posed as 26 different characters each from a different fable. The artist states “I investigate social constructions of age and gender and I allude to taboos of gender role play, adult and childhood fantasies and conventional ideas of beauty…” Goicolea studied art history, drawing and painting at the University of Georgia, and completed his MFA in sculpture from Pratt Institute in NYC. In 2005 Goicolea exhibited recent photographs at the Arizona State University Museum of Art. Other solo exhibitions include works at the Postmasters Gallery in NYC, ArtSpace Witzenhausen Gallery, Amsterdam, and Galerie Aurel Scheibler, Cologne, Germany. The artist was also a recipient of the 2005 BMW Photo Paris Award, and previously received grant support from the Joan Mitchell Foundation.
Anthony Goicolea’s dream-like photographs are peopled with multiple self-portraits. Using digital manipulation, Goicolea clones himself and creates scenarios in which he acts out both humorous and horrific childhood incidents.His photographs are simultaneously rooted in the complexities of social conventions, nostalgia and science fiction, and fall somewhere between fantasy and nightmare.
