I am finding it very interesting to see how far removed from ‘reality’ even images based on a straightforward photo can be. The increasing availability of live filter views makes it easy to see just how ‘distorted’ some of the filters are and how unrecognizable it can make the subject. The view above is based on a Camera Free photo filter app, and I’ve then extensively played around with and drawn onto the raw image in Paintbook. But even without ny artistic intervention, I saw very little of me in the original image.
