Work of Gordon Magnin
Gordon Magnin’s artwork offers a new perspective of a very familiar subject matter in an extremely refreshing way; the artist uses predominantly, but not exclusively, found female fashion images. This is especially daring because our media culture is so saturated with these images to begin with, that it would seem difficult to come up with a new understanding of it, but Magnin pulls it off. He imposes geometric systems (normally triangles or squares) on the high fashion faces, either by cutting them out of the images and replacing them on a new angle, or simply by removing the shapes completely. It is no surprise that the artist’s educational background is in engineering and architecture, which explains his adept use of geometric structure. On his website, Magnin offers .gif formatted images which demonstrate the process by which he reaches his final product. This way, the viewer is allowed to view a selection of the artists thought process, adding another layer of depth to the work. Magnin’s images also frequently have the ability to stare back at their viewer. In untitled (smear) the artist overlaps two female faces. The one beneath looks upwards, wearing an expression of shock as she smears bright red lipstick down the corner of her mouth and chin. The first face is barely obscured by the slick and minimalist one on top, which Magnin has treated by cutting out a system of triangles, revealing the face below. He leaves only the necessary information for face on top, a mouth lightly upturned at the corner, an eyebrow that appears slightly raised, and penetrating eyes.

Born in 1989 into an artistic family in the Black Forest, Germany, Alma Haser is now based in London and on the southeast coast. She is known for her complex and meticulously constructed portraiture, which are influenced by her creativity and her background in fine art. Expanding the dimensions of traditional portrait photography, Alma takes her photographs further by using inventive paper-folding techniques, collage and mixed media to create layers of intrigue around her subjects
physical geometric portraits
Cosmic surgery is imagined as a medical procedure that people can choose in the not so distant future for aesthetic enhancement, mood alteration, and to thwart increasingly pervasive methods of surveillance. Combining photography with collage and origami, Haser's playfully odd portraits consider the link between identity and image in a culture of visual bombardment. She suggests a fundamental shift in the way we understand ourselves and the world around us, picturing the possibility of a trans-humanist future.
"Experimentation has shaped my identity as an artist. I’m always thinking about different sculptural approaches to photography and how I can build layers into the work. I never know exactly how I’m going to produce the work until I’ve spent hours experimenting. Most of the time it’s a happy accident that shapes the final piece."

PATRICK CORNILLET
In this series, elements of architecture were taken out of their environment and reconstituted in the form of objects on a white background. The infinite nuances of concrete, make us aware of the wealth of the material and of the remains left by the humans and by Time passing by. Even if the architectures seem austere, spaces seeming uninhabited, dehumanised, Cornillet creates a particular poetry and a mesmerising mysticism.
My response to Patrick Cornillet.The images I have taken, I have followed the same process of which the artist has done. of taking the image then cutting out the background of the image leaving it where it is now
this is another response to Patrick Cornillet but showing step by step of how I did it

silhouettes
Malik Kebe :Silhouettes of people with a colourful background
Malick Kebe is a curator of new ideas and inspirations. Malick dreams of putting Abidjan on the map. Through the lens of his iphone and thanks to his minimalist vision, he was able to create his own identity by building a universe that he perfectly masters, mixing modernity and his African origins. Malick has shared his works, via his Instagram account "From Abidjan", which aroused the interest of the biggest ones, notably Apple in April 2019 with his device #shotoniphone.
This consecration pushed "From Abidjan" to the front of the scene by allowing him to exhibit his creations in Atlanta (United States), Paris (France) and in Abidjan at the French Institute of Ivory Coast, finally in Zanzibar in Tanzania.
In July 2019, Malick won the first Mobile Photography award from PHmuseum photography, in the “Fashion” category.
Between Abidjan and the rest of the world, there is only one step. This is what Malick advocates through his achievements.

Final piece
my final piece is a developed image of the Helmo and colour portraits.
To take these pictures I got miles to sit down and i got a black background. I used a red piece of glass and a flash light to put it over. i used a green glass piece to change the colour of it to make the image more seeable After this I used the bulb setting and i got miles to move his head around to create the moving head image. this works because the colour sinks inn well with the black background.
