I feel that I haven't experimented a whole lot with my images because I'm happy with the outcome, however this doesn't mean that I won't prefer images that i've been experimenting with, so I have decided to be more free with my work a little bit.
I simply downloaded some glitch effect photoshop actions and played around with them until I was happy.
This image is a play on the image of a broken phone charger, and has a glitch 3d effect, as one of the RGB channels has been blocked out, like a glitch in processing a photo.
It appears to have two versions of the image, pink and green. I think with the white base and the silver wire it works really well as there is no competing colour with the neon pink and green.
These other images are also very similar, just with different colours. There were other versions of the glitches but I prefer these more simple versions.
Because of the dark background the colours from the glitch really pop.
I think the glitch art can be linked to how broken the world is, as these images are of course first world problems. The glitch reflects this and how we in these first world countries are broken in terms of our priorities and worries; these images show the most small inconveniences in the world that we all have a negative reaction to, when there's so much more important things happening in the world.
The edits are pretty simple to do and won't be hard to do to others however i'm not sure if I will.
I'm a bit torn between whether these are stronger images or not. On one hand they're perhaps more visually interesting but I also feel they may take a way from the cinematic look. The cinematic edit isn't necessarily a must have for these images but having them dramatised is, because it's kinda of the whole point. The question is, does the glitch edit take away from the dramatisation and make it a little more comical visually? Or does it lend itself to the dramatisation.
For me, I think that with either way the initial images are more serious in terms of the edit and the way it appears. The glitch effect is less, for want of a better word, stereotypical. We often imagine dramatised images as the dark images that i've been trying to create.
For this reason, I don't think i'll be making more of these. If I change my mind they won't be hard to make. I just feel that the original images are more powerful.
