Practice: Photo montage

Here is a short photo montage I sequenced in Final cut Pro. I started out just to take a snap or two of my young nephew. I realised I like the light I was getting from the close-up shots, so I continued snapping for a very short episode. The pictures give quite a nice intimacy I feel. I have developed A few still images from one or two. Although maybe there is still more I should do with this sequence.
Note: I have an Idea to re-sketch the images creating another series of new 'translated' images. Then, where I see clashing motion from the original sequence I should re-invent new filler (bridging) images that would in turn be informed from the intended new image translation. This would also extend the length of work (which is very brief as it is)

    Mark Hayward’s work explores physical motion. Whether through animation or drawing, it’s ‘actions’ that interest him and how they adapt and respond to one another to create movement and narratives.

    Acts of war and aggression feature recurrently in Hayward’s work, and individual actions naturally expand into group activity; as groups mobilise, individual characters seem to find themselves not just under the control of the groups that they move in but also of the actions that they partake in, actions that Hayward subjects them to.

    Hayward was born in Portsmouth in 1979. He graduated from UCA Canterbury, Kent, where he received a BA in Fine Art in 2007 and then went on to complete an MA in Fine Art Printmaking at the Royal College of Art, London, were he received the Tim and Belinda Mara Award.

    In 2009 his work was selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize, which will be opening in London September 2009 and touring the UK until April 2010. He has shown his work in a number of exhibitions including

    Show One, at the Royal College of Art,

    The London Original Print Fair at the Royal Academy of Arts, and New Cross Project Space, London. He currently lives in Ken
