Week 9 - pink - MMaeb & Bronwen Hyde

Left: MMaeb

Right: Bronwen Hyde

Michelle: Bronwen and I didn't discuss anything beforehand, so I was pleased to discover that we had the same tones of pink in our shots. I adjusted the light in mine to echo the brightness in B's window, but that was all it took.

Week 6 - Obsession - the melody censor & MMaeb

Top: the melody censor
Bottom: MMaeb

tmc: The theme obsession was the most difficult to date for me. I stuggled to come up with an that wouldn't come across as silly or cliche. M brought forward the idea of obesession of appearance, specifically body dysmorphia.

MMaeb: I heard a story a few years ago about a man with body dysmorphia who hated his appearance so much that he broke his own nose with a hammer. That kind of obsessive-compulsive fixation with his supposed flaws inspired me for this week's project. I loved the melody censor's image, and adjusted my image to be more in sync with hers (mine was quite a bit warmer originally).

Week 3 - Night - Quizz & MMaeb

Left: Quizz
Right: MMaeb

Michelle: Bogna sent me the magical image at left, and I played around with various pairings. I'd taken some shots the night before by candlelight, and played with the one at right to make the colouration similar. I think my subject is a bit banal in comparison to hers, but I like some of the shared elements in this pairing - including the emphasis on our fingers.

Week 2 - Blue - hsmithphotography and MMaeb

I was concerned on getting my image done in time due to the fact that I was moving to a new house this past week. I took a few photos and they all seemed to say "blue-green" instead of blue. Michelle pretty much spearheaded this, taking a wonderful selection of photos (both still life and self-portraits) and working with our combinations to pick the best match. One of her still lifes was a little more blue-green as well so they worked together. It might not have been exactly the "blue" theme, we can make our own rules and decided to just go for it.

Week 1 - Food - MMaeb & Solarina~Lucy Nuzum

Lucy and I were at a bit of loss, initially, in terms of how to approach the theme of food - especially under tight time constraints. But the creativity started flowing for me as soon as I started thinking about the preparation of food, rather than food itself. I photographed various baking bits and bobs collected over the years, and sent some variations to Lucy. She then proposed the combination above, adding the lovely image of her lips to the mix. All that remained was for me to enhance the saturation of her lip colour slightly to tie the colour values together a bit more. We're not sure it's a perfect combination, but we're both pleased that we managed to pull this together in the end.
