DESTROY
In this assignment we are going to learn how to use a studio setup to produce creative self portraits. Once we have made our portraits we are going to learn how to transform them using both Photoshop and manual techniques.
The title of this project comes from a similar project by a famous fashion photographer by the name of Rankin. The project was called DESTROY and can be found here: http://www.dazeddigital.com/photography/article/5791/1/destroy-by-rankin
In the DESTROY project Rankin took portraits of famous musicians and then gave them the photographs for them to transform or destroy.
