In his series called 'On the Night Bus' he photographs people through the steamy window of the buses through the night. I took advantage of a very cold night and went out to take photos of everyone going past the bus stop. I was not too worried about the images being blurred because it added to the abstract look of the pictures.
These are my top three images:
This was my favourite image because i liked the steam of the window and the soft focus and blur it gave the whole image and the contrast it allowed with the woman's face because she was close to the window and her face was a lot more defined

Lucas Simons is a Brazilian who's work shows photos of ordinary objects that are transformed in post to create an interesting piece of art out of them.In the series of work I took inspiration from he took photos of people while they told him a secret that he couldn't hear because he was listening to music that the person had picked for him. He then asked them if their secret had a colour and then he would use their colour of choice to create a cut out style piece of artwork from the photos.
These are some examples of his work:

For my final piece I used a similar technique of cutting away layers to reveal the ones below, but instead of cutting away the photographs to reveal colour I just had a similar photo of the same person.
