Japanese street photographer Daido captured images of Japan mostly and the street life. He started experimenting with an anti-photographic style making his photographs blurry, grainy, out of focus, starkly contrasted pictures, often unbalanced and even casually framed: ‘Clarity isn’t what photography is about'. Because Japan had experienced a phenomenal economic growth, it impacted the city in every way. Daido Moriyama was particularly drawn to Tokyo's street life because of its strong urbanisation.

Here are my takes on this:
Movement
Projection
Lee Kirby
First Attempt
Damaging a Photo
Andy Denzler used paint to make the images look glitched and disorderly however, I decided to use different techniques on the computer to create the same effect. Firstly, I used TextEdit and copy/pasted codes, added a few letters and numbers, deleted sections to make my photos look abnormal. Then I decided to try out a music app called Audacity to make it look a bit more glitched with a variety of colours and textures.

First Attempt - TextEdit
Second Attempt - Audacity
Chosen Strand: Projection
First Attempt
Beginning and End - model's baby photos to represent the beginning stages of their lives projected onto their current selves.
Age Projection
Second Attempt
Cropped/Edited
Third Attempt
The following images are of people who are older than my last attempt so I have a range of ages. These show the most change in how technology and style has changed as they have lived for longer than my generation. The projected image of my second model was taken during a period where cameras could not capture colour so the projection shows the contrast between how cameras were before and how they are now.
