Painted Failure (Final Project)

This is my final project aptly titled "Painted Failure". See more pictures here. The intention of this project as to explore the reverse process of art imitating life. Through editing, I capitalized on the graininess of the original shots and attempted to give them a "painted" look with texture and exaggerated proportions, colors and compositions to further emphasize the distorted quality. Some of the final photos were a success and some, as the title suggests, were failures.
