Outcome for the plaster blocks using clay tiles- Counter Culture brief

Plaster positive space from negative clay tiles


I really like how these plaster blocks photographed. I wanted to show the mark making the best way I could using good lighting. with the right angles, I was able to create some great contrasting shadows showing all the detail. In future, I need to be more patient with the process however this isn't I technique I wish to continue with. 
I really liked how these plaster blocks photographed. I aimed to showcase the mark-making as best as I could, using good lighting. With capturing the blocks from the right angle, I was able to capture striking shadows that highlighted all the details in great contrast.

Final video of Torn Emotions for Portrait   I decided to change the music for my short video using Artist Cleo Sol- Myself.
