IGNE GROGNARD AND RONALD STOOPS traced lines and wrinkles of aged skin with silver thread. This is similar to what I did in my Silver Lines post with hands. I love this - it celebrates the lines rather than hides them and that is soon becoming the essence of my project.
DAMIEN BLOTTIERE manipulates images to create a collage effect, but what I really find important about his work is how he uses skin to interact with itself. It reminds me of the type of edits that I want to give my images for the book, showing two sides of a personality or a collision of traits.
These images by HAMANSUTRA are reminiscent of the work that Lucy McRae and Bart Hess did for Vogue, which manipulated body shape using balloons and sheer tights. Its really intreguing to see what else can be used to manipulate this and I find the images with the hands (see below) really striking.
SKIN IMPRESSIONS are a natural way of skin manipulation. Its compelling to me because it shows just a moment before it fades. The above pictures are various images of skin impressions found online. The bottom right is very refreshing to me because its an artistic way of showing an impression of a human interaction.
