I have admired and followed these photographers for a while now. Their work always manages to catch my eye, because of there distinct presentation and unique way of handling prints. Most of the work is done once they have printed their photo, they often manipulate them to create texture, depth and interesteing focal points. The manor in which they treat their work is very rough and may appear haphazard and careless but every mark is though out carefully. They scratch, rip, burn, tear, cut and tone, to mention a few ways of enhancing the original photo. Many of their photos are cut up and each section is dealt with in a different way, some toned longer than others, some toned a different colour, others ripped or scratched, then they are pieced back together again. It doesnt stop there, I have seen hem sewn, stapled, nailed and taped back together again. They push the boundaries of photography; combining it with the creativity of art. My favourite aspect of their work is that each piece is unique and can never be created again.
