Image within Image - Image Bank

When researching Image within Image, I found that many of the images were similar in the fact that they featured people, holding photographs of themselves. This was inevitable towards the task which meant that if we were too take a picture of somebody holding a frame, then it would of course be them in the frame below. This is a technique done on photoshop in which you take the image, and drop it into the frame. You then complete this, until the frame is so small it is not visible in the pixels. The following images show a female who has cleverly photoshopped it so that her hand is holding the frame. You can see the positioning of the frame on the rest of the frame is tilted, to give the affect that the frame is never ending. This is a technique I will apply to my photographs, however it appears to be difficult as the frame is not a fixed shape, and therefore cropping it in will be much more challenging, although still physically possible. I also like the difference in which the person has photographed their desk, I like the colours in this image and the way the objects have been laid out. In the last image of this set, we see an image inside an image, where it is not the same as the first. Taken by a wedding photographer, we see a younger male and female holding an image of the bride and groom. 





The next set of images in this image bank are much more contemporary. They take the frame which can be perceived as old fashioned, and take the images using an iPhone. There are several things that I love about the photographer of these images. I love the different locations in which the images have been taken, and the way that you can see clearly the whole image within the phone, yet the rest of the image has been blurred out through the focusing. One of my favourite images of these pictures is the lights from the skyline, I feel like I could use this technique and incorporate it within night photography.
