Scream

  • Photographer
    Margot Jakobsen , Australia

The art of Louise Bourgeois and her current exhibition at the Art Gallery Of New South Wales is an inspiration for 'Scream', as well as the modern angst depicted by Edvard Munch in his famous painting. For that reason, I'm putting it in the Fine Art, Digitally Enhanced, category. The photo of a screaming face was taken in my studio, and added digitally to the shot I took of an Australian beach. A very simple enhancement.

What can I say? I'm old and a recent convert to photography. I love the art of Louise Bourgeois and her current exhibition at the Art Gallery Of New South Wales is an inspiration.
