Nigel Tomm creates pictures by ruining pictures in a way of distorting a face to add depth and unique expressions. He takes the original image from a website and changes what the photographer is trying to convey.
Slow shutter speed distortion
In this shoot, I aimed to distort someones face or body with colour. I wanted to do blurred bright colours to make one face face or body fill the whole screen in an unusual different way with faces just visible as faces but almost inhuman like. I wanted to do this to show what someone is like in the inside behind the perfect face there is a scattered and all over the place and not sure of themselves as the face is not clear.
ALBAN GROSDIDIER
Grosdidier was born in 1989 and is a French photographer. He has moved all around exploring activist groups like feminist and LGBTI. This project was his first internationally recognised series and he is trying to make a comment about city life, maybe this could be what lies under the surface or the distorted nature of their faces under water or being trapped under water as we can see in these images.
Distortion in water
In this project I wanted to show what it would be like if humans like fish lived under water and how different life would be. I also wanted to show the lights reflection and the water distorting the persons face. You can see how unnatural it is for their face to be under water and how uncomfortable they look; their faces become scrunched and distorted. However I think they also look serene and beautiful and fresh and glossy which creates such an interesting juxtaposition.
