Mean Machine

*Mean Machine*
Canon EOS300 + Fuji Acros ii
Model: Dylan

My initial thinking when I initiated this trial with industrial textures was that the textures that were too well defined wouldn’t work. I’m glad to say I was wrong. This one immediately made me think of an infamous character in the 2000AD Judge Dredd comics.

Twisted Spine

*Twisted Spine*
Canon EOS300 + Fuji Acros II
Model: Dylan

One interesting finding from this first session of industrial double exposures is the fact that – despite their relative regularity – the textures can still blend with the body shapes. I like here how the curve in the pipes follows the curves in the back.

Respirator

*Respirator*
Canon EOS300 + Fuji Acros II
Model: Dylan

Back in December I shot one session of Photovoltaic, based on industrial and mechanical « textures » shot in a harbour junkyard in Cheung Chau.  I wasn’t super confident that it would deliver good images, and like often with multiple exposure experimentation, it didn’t quite deliver what I thought it would, but it still delivered some really interesting images. Unsurprisingly, many of these were visually disturbing, but none more than this one.

Begonia Blossom

*Begonia Blossom*
Canon EOS300 + Ilford Delta100
Model: Claire
Texture: Begonia Hocking Lambada

One thing I haven’t done too much of is play on scale. Sure, leaves in Photosynthesis images are often much larger than they are in real life scaled up to the model, but that’s not often the first thing you think about when you see the image. Here, I feel like that works. It’s as if Claire was literally blossoming from within the leaves.

Faint

*Faint*
Canon EOS300 + Ilford Delta100
Model: Cath

Sometimes, either because my exposure levels are off or because the contrasts in the original texture scene were hard to find, the textures only imprint very faintly. Then I end up with images that are borderline classic nudes. It’s the case here, but hey, I find this one beautiful anyway, so sue me…

Brushstroked

*Brushstroked*
Canon EOS300 + Ilford Delta100
Model: Siuding

When walking around looking for textures, the eye is naturally attracted to high contrast leaves or interesting shapes. But sometimes it’s the simple ones that, combined with careful lighting, deliver the best results. I love how delicate this looks, as if it had been carefully painted on.

Verdant

*Verdant*
Canon EOS300 + Ilford Delta100
Model: Chi Chi

I love it when the inverted treetop technique still delivers a lot of detail in the texture. Because the technique relies mostly on contrast, it’s not always possible to get both the burned sky and the detail in the texture.

The Bamboo and the Bike

*The Bamboo and the Bike*
Canon A2 + ECN2 250D

I love the bamboo scaffolding that you see nearly everywhere in Hong Kong but what caught my eye here was the projected shadow of the scaffolding and the bike breaking the regularity.

Phony Smile

*Phony Smile*
Rolleiflex 3.5 + Lomography Lomo 800

This unconvincing smile seemed particularly incongruous in the middle of a Mui Wo village…

Cast Shadow

*Cast Shadow*
Canon A2 + ECN2 250D

You’d be hard pressed to know that this was shot in Hong Kong, but the crisp shadow is the giveaway!
