Split lens


Jennifer Maughan

An aspect of surrealism is about taking something you know, something normal, and manipulating it with figments of the artist imagination. An example of this, is the painting of a painting above, with elements of both the real and the surreal.

This experiment aims to capture an element of the surrealism through the manipulation of the lens. 
I have used a piece of acrylic to cover half of the lens. Half an image is reflected and merged into the standard frame. Some of the shots are a lot more successful as the join of the reflection is much more subtle. Photoshop has not been used. 


Here are two of my favorites from the set. The perception of the space has been changed with characteristics from another angle fused into a single image.
