Collage of Constructed Imagery
This is my collage demonstrating one way of constructing a photograph. I incorporated real life events into the composition, which in this case was the 2011 riots that spread across the nation. The background image is a photograph of an art piece by the mysterious London graffiti artist 'Banksy' in the collection called 'Outdoors'. I chose to use this artist because his works portray a dark humour and create controversy among many due to his "political and social" commentary. I chose this photograph because it can have various interpretations, for instance, I added some CCTV photographs of people involved in the riots to show that the camera has caught them. Furthermore, the caption on the photograph: "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?" is a common phrase amongst many teenagers, implying they are saying this into the camera and to the viewer.
