As soon as I found his work, I knew I wanted to experiment with how Adde Adesokan creates his work. Adde Adesokan takes three personality matching images of complete strangers, and displays them as a Triptych. One person who I was unfamiliar with was my flat mate’s new carer. I had seen him a couple of times prier to these photo’s being taken, so felt it would be convenient and appropriate to ask him to be part of my photography project.
On interviewing him, I found out that Cameron’s carer Brian has only been doing house visits for a couple of years, and his attire on this particular day mirrored his youth. Because of this personality trait, I asked him to pose with the keys to Cameron’s room, making the item relevant to his job. I pitched these three images together to create similar images to that of Adesokan’s work.
Using Lightroom, I was originally going to bleach, however as I eventually used this technique on my self portrait, I chose to follow Adde’s lead and make the images black and white. This ended up looking better than I had initially planned, giving the photo’s a better chance to highlight certain points in them, for example
