In-Situ Prints
I mocked up my images as fine-art prints in a gallery setting so as to imagine how my prints would look in the environment I initially intended. I tried to match the prints in pairs to work as a diptych or in a trio for a triptych of images to see how they would look as a set of images rather than standalone prints.
To create the effect the prints were on a wall, I found some different stock images of gallery walls that I could drop my photos onto. I had to use the skew tool on Photoshop whilst transforming my images so they would sit at the right angle and fit the 'canvas'. Some of the images became slightly distorted when they were skewed, most noticeably, the image of the refracted light as this went from a landscape image to a more square one due to the fact I had to transform it onto a canvas that was on a greater angle than the others.
I chose these four images (above) to work as one set as they all have a similar colour palette and style to them. The landscape images are more abstract than the others but I think they all work well together as they are of a similar contrast and warmth due to the fact I have edited them in Camera RAW using similar settings. Personally, I think the window image works the best as an in-situ print as I feel my eye is drawn to this one first, hence why I placed that closer up in the foreground than the other portrait image.
I decided to experiment with the inverted images from my cyanotypes to see how they would look as a set of prints as I thought the high contrast black and white copies looked visually interesting and had a more abstract feel to them. I found they worked well as a cohesive set as they were all the same orientation as well as having the reoccurring motif of the window.
