Research • Sergey Larenkov

I looked into the work of Sergey Larenkov and from a professional point of view, I shall not be using his work as direct research into my re-photography project. Although his work is emotional and historical, I find the contrast between the obviously dated black and white archive images, and the modern day colour images is too much for me, and makes the overall series look unprofessional and excessively Photoshopped. I want my series to be made in Photoshop, but not using the blending tool that has been used with this series. I plan to have my images placed over the top of the images, and then use the opacity to blend them in naturally.
