Markus Kison

Markus Kison is a photographer and artist that works with making 3D pop-up pieces of work, that instantly look as if they were real life scenes. His work 'Untitled but dissected' is the piece that inspired me. This is because of how much something so little you can do to a photo can automatically make it better. 

For the first image of this three compilation work, is of a man walking past some buildings, with his shopping in toe. The reason why I like this image is because of the way that the man and the buildings have been cut out so precisely and neatly to get the perfect figure outline. Another reason why I find this image so unique is because of the angle that it has been placed at on the black card gives the silhouettes of the human figure and the buildings a shadow, making the picture more realistic and lifelike. 

The second imagery is a very unique piece as it is based around the two people. This still very special, in the way that it has been displayed and cut out. The figures have been very intricately cut out carefully. Also the way that the foreground is very much coming out from the background making you take notice of it a little bit more, because of how dominate the people are. The black backdrop has really helped bring the 3D image alive more, making it more appealing to look at, and sort of gives the folded three dimensional print a outline as such.

The final three dimensional picture is my least favourite but it still grabs my attention. The reason why I don't particularly like this image is because of the way that it has been cut out. The way that it has been cut out isn't really like the other two, because you can obviously see the cut out silhouette of the man on the background piece of card; it also doesn't help that the imagery is displayed on a wooden table and not on a black backdrop. 

The concept of the idea is very unique, taking a part of the photograph and cutting around it, away from the background to then fold it slightly so it is able to stand up, is really different from another photographer/artist that I have looked at in the past. From taking something so simple and making it yet so effective is just genius. Kison work has really inspired me to hopefully create a really good range of three dimensional photographs that have be displayed in a way that is very eye-catching and appealing to look at and take note on how its has been created.
