Reseach - Own Images

This is the original image I found that I wanted to try and use as inspiration for my work. This was not a image done by my chosen practitioners, but I wanted to look into finger and hand prints. I liked the idea of the hand being on a scanner to allow us to see the detail, but I wanted to get even closer.

This image was the image I found next, one that was closer and more detailed and showed all the lines of the fingerprints. I liked how it looked over all, with the composition and the black and white to add to the detail. I rented out the studio and began to try to take my own images in this way.

Unfortunately i was unsuccessful. I found that I had to wrong lens, I was unable to rent out the one I needed, so the detail on the fingers couldn't be seen as well as they can in this image. I had to think of another thing on the body that I knew would be different in everyone. This brought me back to the first ideas, images of eyes. I then shot 6 different peoples eyes, very close to see the colours, and found this was very successful. I liked how everyones eyes aren't just one colour such as blue, green or brown. Everyone had a mixture of colours that made them unique to them. This reflected my idea of identiy, that everyone is different, and our eyes identify us with no control from ourselves. Our eye colour can not be changed, but is something we are not scrutinised for.
