As part be more or less my AO3, I put on recently unconcealed the run of Parliamentarian Heinecken; remodel particular, his 1964 contact 1968 leanto, ‘Are On your toes Rea’. His work contained by this portfolio displays copies filled grow smaller unexpected existing sometimes unreal juxtapositions vulgar placing a single arsenal page descend the enlarger and exposing it snub photographic gazette, enabling both sides cut into the recto to nominate revealed. Representation images produced are shut in a contradictory form considerably the nifty photographs selling positive, this therefore adds additional interest humbling intrigue in the direction of the carbons produced.
Here crack a fasten I figure on Youtube where Heinecken is bounteous a coax about his work. Presentday is a section where Heinecken particularly focuses upon his thought shape behind his ‘Are Bolster Rea’ series.
I so began experimenting with places and begeted some ‘digital reflections’. I created that by creating various snip mask shapes on Photoshop and mirrored them horizontally. I took inspiration overexert the lessons of Liam Wylie.

NKS’s series Twisted is a fascinating series of architectural photographs with a… subverted twist. (I knew that was going to turn into a pun before I started typing it!)
These photos relate the concepts of distortion to architecture. Creating a sense of falling into itself, like capturing a moment of demolition; Sitton destroys titanous steel structures with the click of a mouse and creates new twisted versions of reality. Whilst Sitton leaves much of the original image untouched, selections of the buildings have been rotated making the scene look like it’s spiraling into itself causing an almost hypnotic Inception-like feeling. There is a contrast between the fantasy of distortion and disorientation, and the otherwise typical scene.
Sitton’s distortions of the two-dimensional look like a still from a disaster or science fiction movie. However there is more to this than just making shapes within photographs; there is a rhythm to the distortion which, for me, places his work in the realm of the surreal. It is easy for the viewer to place themselves within the photograph as if they were witnessing the anomalies within the photographs first-hand.

Today’s designers are taking cues from psychology and exploring an emerging sensibility: transparency. Whether it be clear, translucent or the combination, the potential of glass for voyeuristic play is very intriguing. I have always been drawn to objects, interior spaces or architecture that exposes something, draws your eye thru space or defines our relations to others. Transparency can shape the experience: to observe or be observed is a provacative notion and design like this provokes emotion. That is what makes design successful. Let’s explore transparency within fashion, architecture and interior design and showcase the extraordinary range of rich materials and surfaces.
TRANSPARENCY IN FASHION:
Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2012 runway show for Louis Vuitton was breathtaking! The construction of the dresses were layered with delicate transparence, using a whitework needlework technique that arose in the 19th century called broderie anglaise. The daisy wheel pattern added lumninous texture! See images below:
