Continuing the same aim of modernising monochrome old style photographs I have created a similar image to Image 1. Using an image of a group of young women walking towards the camera, using Photoshop and layering techniques I layered another astronomical image directly over the top. The original dull and dated image has been revitalized and given a new life by the intense colours of the new layer. Many different interpretations can be formed collectively from my two ‘Appropriation’ images especially as i have used the same subject matter and editing techniques. From a feminist perspective, by layering space images over the old-fashioned images, it could be argued I presenting women in an all-powerful light or providing hope for the future. This is reflected from the intense colours and streams of light covering the original image.
