 Lee’s work draws me in because of the darker backgrounds with the illuminated figures. The textures in the body parts mimic the those found in the background. The parts that I would like to emulate is the repetition of the textures throughout the images. I also want to incorporate a figure with an appropriated light source. In the hands photograph I would change how harsh the lines are in the lighting transition.

Lucas Blalock is a photographer that uses Photoshop in ways that repeat and manipulate certain objects. I am interested in mixing an object and texture in my own piece. I would also like to explore the idea of digital collaging in my own work. One thing that I would change in the Magenta Massacre piece would be to clean up the stray marks of the target bag in the bottom left corner of the piece.
