Bleaching and Tie Dying prints..

For more experimental work, we were asked to bleach some photographs to get an unusual effect. I choose a black and white picture and a colour one as well. For the process of this, we had to wear rubber gloves at all times. Firstly began by added clear nail polish onto the picture in different areas of it. Then dipped the image into a bowl of bleach, then straight into water. Here are the outcomes of the bleaching process. In my opinion, if i could do it again i would be to than i had a lot more nail polish onto the black and white image because you cant really see image underneath it. However i do really like the colour image, as you can still see the picture with the bleach effect. 



Another technique was to add food dye to the black and white prints. To this photo i added green and a dark purple. I do like this effect because it was just using a paint brush to apply the colouring. In my opinion when you look at it, it sort of looks three dimensional with the blast of colour that it has on it. Even though it isn't a lot of colour, it is still very powerful and eye-catching.
