None of this picture is part of a face. In places it looks as if pieces of paper are stuck on a real face. The nose, eyes and mouth are casually, loosely applied and well hidden among the ripped-up pieces of paper. This seems like photograph, sculpture and collage in one.
I like the idea that NONE of this is done in PhotoShop.
"When I started making these pictures, Photoshop was really blossoming in the photo community," he recalls. "I was interested in pursuing a project that would showcase traditional methods of manipulation with straight photography. I can fly, just not very well."
Sometimes he sources images from Google...
Would like to try this idea of modelling up a face shape - maybe around a polystyrene ball.
