Silence of the lens

Silence of the lens is essentially the idea that photography is undergoing a sort of evolution alongside the development of technology. It’s the Idea that the advance of technology can have an effect on how we see the world around us, where previously photographers had to take the world at face value working with the canvas presented to them. Whereas now thanks to the availability of software such as photo editing and 3D rendering means that artists are now able to shape reality to their own wishes, creating a blend of Digital and physical realms.

During this project I was inspired by Images of shell shocked soldiers from WW1 as well as the intersection of my love for history, movies and video games to create a 3D immersive trench environment in 3DS max based on the first world war. the project was designed to be used with virtual reality headset, I did so because I wanted to give viewers the impression that they were stepping through history
