Further inspiration

I came across the photographer Saul Leiter and thought some of his photo gave off the same vibe as my scanned flowers, they're eerie, confusing and slightly creepy. I like the idea of using people to represent things so by using his mysterious technique and my scanning idea I have come up with some photos which represent spring but also have a strange, abstract and spooky atmosphere. The spookiness originally came from the scans I did of flowers, I liked this spooky feel but couldn't find a connection with it and spring so by incorporating people I'm able to represent spring in a weird and wonderful way!

This photo is quite scary looking. It's not a typical portrait, shes not looking at the audience which disconnects her from us, her hands are almost covering her face which is another way for her to be disconnected. The lack of colour gives a cold bleak atmosphere and the fading of her gives a ghostly look.

These images shown above look slightly diluted and distorted which are some of the qualities which come out in my scanned photos. It looks this way because the focus isn't on the person outside, it's on the condensed, dripping window. 

These photos certainly don't represent spring but thats not why Ive been inspired, It's the unearthly, bizarre and almost supernatural elements that captured my eye and how similar the techniques are to the ones I have previously shown. The man in this photo is behind a plant like object, It's hiding his identity which gives the photo a very mysterious look. I like the idea of making a photo ambiguous or about more than one thing so it's not obvious to the viewer what the photo is about, this interests people, it makes them look for longer trying to figure it out because we don't like not knowing, we don't like being confused.
