Erwin Blumenfeild


This image is called the eye to, it has two reading of one perdon. This image is surreal, because the eye is posistioned so it looks like the person and the siluet are both lookingstright ahead. The shape of the lips on the siluet looks real because the persons lips are in the same place and so is the nose. The image is a contast against the white pace . this attracts our attention to the two faces. The man in the image looks upset. The image only has half a face so the siluet complets the other half of the face.  

How i'm going to copy this image.

i'm going to use a black background.
i'm going to have an image taken of my self.
then finally photoshop it, to create a similar image to Erwin Blumfeild.
