How to experiment: Research - Jean-Loup Lafont

This photographer has used a handwritten font on a glass panel and photographed it. To me, this looks like another layer, on photoshop, that he has added. This inspires me to think about fonts and add extra layers to my images.

In this image, there is a glass screen with writing on. The writing is repeated and gives the viewer more context about the photographer’s day. I plan to experiment with overlaying text on a portrait; this text could be an extract from the book or the models comment. This again would give the viewer more context on the image. The image is in colour and you can see the bright yellow house behind the glass panel. This gives the viewer the impression of a sunny, hot country, from reading the text, you find out its Vienna. There is a narrow depth of field; this makes the text the main focus of the image. Also the blurred background makes the viewer curious to what else is happening.  This image inspires me to think carefully about what my image shows and what I overlay. This could be text or another image. I could try overlaying a pattern on my images or perhaps using materials and transparent paper/roll to write my text on.
