Experimental Negatives - Misplace

After contemplating my project word I decided to take a physical look at it and experiment. I've always though when editing my Images that the 'negative' effect always looked either quite cool on certain images or quote stupid on other. I decided I wanted to have a go at creating this style of image. I didn't want to focus on the image content at first so started with simple images. I used a friends fishtank as I've always been fascinated with the fish. I looked at this closer and decided that fish in a way are misplaced. 

The fact we keep fish as pets and almost show them off in transparent bowl is a strange concept. This relates with the negative effect as it's quite an obscure effect to use in photography. I work together with the two and create my first set of experiential images. I used Photoshop to edit the images and just an IPhone 6+ to take the images. I used a simple negative effect, turned up the contrast and rotated the images slightly. 







After editing these images I wasn't pleased with the results so decided to use he natural mirror images of the fishtank to create a natural mirror and again slightly strange effect. Here are the results that I was very pleased with.
