Altered photography has been around since technology allowed artists to make changes to their work. It has been the tool to successfully alter anything you want to get the message across to the viewer.I would like to take photographs of faces, perhaps mine or other people. I would study both color and black and white. maybe some elements of portraits and distort them in some way. The color alters the meaning. Although I don't know what my subjects will be, I want to combine photography with graphic art.

Taking photographs allows you to show people what you see. Faces have been how we identify people since for all of human history. If we didn't have faces how would we recognize anyone? Everyone gets their face from DNA, their genetic history, Which makes me wonder as someone adopted makes me wonder where did my face come from. Altering photographs gives people a different and abstract perspective on identity.
