#DTP: DIGITALLY TRANSFIGURED PHOTOGRAPHY
#DTPHOTOGRAPHY
It can be
said modification, alteration or simply, editing, but my concept behind it goes
beyond all these connotations of digital treatment of a photograph.
Here, I am
trying to create, something new, totally unrelated, with an altogether
different meaning from what the original had.
From a
photograph on how it looked and what it conveyed when I clicked it initially –
to a digitally treated photograph with a changed personality of its own – an
effort to give it a run of metamorphosis to sport a new look, to convey a
different meaning.
I call it
Digitally Transfigured Photography (#DTP) aiming to achieve with it what ‘Transfigure’
literally means – to transform into something more beautiful or elevated
– using some of my chosen but unused photographs.
And
aesthetically, my efforts are to keep the changed personality of the
photographs into the realm of the abstract.
I want these
transfigured photographs to convey more than what I intended to. If the
abstract in these photographs could make the others find their own
interpretations, it would really be good. And I would love to have the blessing
of looking at more meanings into it than what went into naming it.
I would
employ the digital tools that suit the mood of the process - that cater to the
fulfilment of my intent - and complement the abstract metamorphosis – giving it
an exalted and spiritual appearance – the Transfiguration that speaks.
It is an experiment to explore the next extension of my creative urge – fiction, non-fiction, poetry and photography – aligning my thoughts with the possibilities the digital editing tools can reveal while working on a particular photograph – an experiment performed in thoughts and aided digitally – the Digitally Experimented Photography (DEP/#DEP).
