Cam Whore
A composite of 2573 webcam self-portraits found on Live Journal and the such. All source images are 320 by 240 pixels in size and taken with 'cheap' webcams rather than consumer level digital cameras. It is a study in the composition of lo-fi / high-tech narcissism and the struggle for praise and acceptance.
This image was created by compositing (combining, layering) groups of exisiting photographs (or other images) into a single work. The process is achieved by manually aligning each image, then scanning and layering them using custom written software. The intent of these works is to discover the patterns, trends and truth that may be collectively found in the vocabulary of the photographic arts.
