Combining Images

I used the images I had taken with the photocopier and decided to make them more meaningful. I liked the concept of placing my mother’s image in the palm of my hand (Fig 1) and also my father, although that was not as successful (Fig 2). The final image is using tattoos created in Photoshop and mapping them on to the image (Fig 3). I’ve used this technique before but many years ago so I had to relearn what to do! I also gave the images a slight tint to warm the tone.
