after testing my ideas
i decided to see what other artists do
to take the process to the next level
Nelson uses an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo scanner.
His “images are mostly composed directly on the glass of the scanner.”
In some cases he scan objects such as
"paper, bark, flowers, leafs, crushed cans, some liquids, very old photos and more.”
From a painting background, Nelson edits the files in Photoshop to “manipulate colors.”
He also takes into account the “scanner always produces the same cold unflattering light”
so by adding warm tones into his prints this is avoided.

MY RESPONSE
FEEDBACK
FEEDBACK
"I thought I would do a general view of the response of Gilbert & Georges work
before I research and construct my own opinion.
Just to get my head around everything.
I have noted the overall reactions from the course of Gilbert & Georges work,
and everyone is pretty much on the same page.
The simple fact that the artistic pair have lost their dramatic touch in their latest work.
The subject matter of their pieces
focus on society of the given eras,
focus on society of the given eras,
and there is a correlation of the issues
along with the shooting and processing techniques Gilbert & George have adapted to."
