Sexy paper mock ups




So these are two bits o paper that i am thinking will be the size of my final prints. I am open to suggestions tho haha.
I think they fit well as a diptych on this wall (which there are two of this size in the gallery) and one image this size will fit nicely with plenty of room on the center-floating walls. My only concern is images this size on the larger wall. Should i print the images for the larger wall bigger? or is that an exhibition no no. Hmmm if i do print them bigger then i have to make a very concrete and irreversible decision on which two will be going on that wall.

trust the yellow and black....

Mock up changes



Another mock up. It takes away the shot were i am falling/suspended/whatever in front of the building. I like this image because it is one of the best and most painful to create (my ribs still hurt) but it does not fit so well with the rest of the series. This is mainly due to the lack of sky in the image (apart from the reflection in the buildings windows..) It just does not have the same feeling of overwhelming sky and openness that most of the other images do...

Haha going back and looking at that image again i really do like the clouds in the window....it adds another depth to the image and still ties thematically to the other images. Wow indecisive again.

Here they are in proper form, not all silly and distorted. Let me know what you think. I also have a massive library of shots like the cloud shots in the mock ups. I am still thinking hard about the inclusion of these and have not really decided ether way yet.
The taking of the photos such as these i so process driven and so physical, i like the clouds for two reasons. One, there the opposite of physical, they are light and spacey and not blunt and physical which the images allude to in their technical seduction. Two, the taking of them is bound up in the process of making these images, and the way in which they react to the images of me is interesting...maybe...

mockymock ups ya'll...











So here is a complete mock up of my space. I'm totally behind the 8-ball compared to you guys back home but yea. The dimensions on the images are the total wall dimensions, not print size!
Ok... problems:

-I don't like any of it... kind of...but thats probably 'cos its all distorted and gross and o
-I fell like i have fuck all prints because I'm refusing to use the same location more than once (is that justified do you think?)
-I like the idea of sitting the prints on the side walls with the clouds, the cloudscapes have become a part of this in the process part of the images, i am always tempted to shoot the clouds when i am out shooting the events so they tie into the images but the way i've been editing them also brings together more of this open light spatial feeling...i think. I can hear people saying "nooooooo its to late to introduce stuff!" and thats also how i feel. Wow indecisive Alex, well done. Ok I'm now writing in the 3rd person so i will stop.

Amazing. I really like the combination of the images of figures and the landscape style photographs as well. They create an interesting interplay off of one another that i think is very powerful. If all the images contained figures then i feel that you would be overwhelmed and this sense of power and awe that these images provide would be lessened if not lost.
This is extremely relevant for me as i am right at the point where i am trying to decide which images are going to make the cut for the exhibition/SITE09. To many of the figure is going to simply become overwhelming and/or lessen the impact of the images that do contain the figure.
So ill see how we go with he coming mock ups...
