Manipulation Through Homonyms

In a recent photography assignment we were asked to create images that portrayed homonyms. A homonym is of course words that sound the same but have different meanings.
The first homonym I chose was band/banned. This image has been heavily manipulated using masking techniques and filling in with solid colours to achieve an image that looked similar to a sign.



My second homonym was hare/hair in which I tried to incorporate a hare into my own body. I need more practice in this area of manipulation but for a first try I'm fairly happy with it.

Photographing Children

I have just finished the printing for the photographs I took of children at a childcare centre on the South Coast for the second consecutive year. They will be distributed throughout the centre next week.

Here is an example of one of the photos I took last year for the centre.
