Work Diary Image within an Image

We were set with the task of researching and capturing image within an image photography. We had to capture the subject in three of it's forms, standard image within an image, removing the background behind an image and one where you place a video within an image. The three were fairly easy to capture and edit, the main problem was coming up with interesting locations and ideas for the images. I attempted to experiment with the formula as much as I could by introducing formal elements where I could and try not to repeat myself too much.

This image shows a straight forward example of image within an image photography. I like this image because of how detailed it is. You may not be able to see it but the image continues to cycle between images up until the individual pixels are present on the screen. I also attempted to introduce some formal elements into the image. I wanted to show tone by adding black and white but then I had the idea to create a contrast/pattern within the image by switching between colour and black and white as the images cycled.

This image shows another simple example of image within an image photography. Although this image appears to be fairly straightforward there is some interesting factors hidden within the image. The image features a large theme of contrast as can be seen with the obvious missing space out of the person. This theme continues as there is a constant clash of muted and natural colours within the image. Also the housing in the background creating a contrast of nature and urban environments.

Progression:

If I were to do this shoot again I would select some more interesting examples of image within an image photography. I would like use some interesting graffiti in order to fill the space in the person. This would help add some more of the formal elements into the image while making the effect more visually interesting as a result. Now I am familiar with the method, I would also like to challenge myself by creating more challenging examples that would take place in different locations and in different poses/framing.
