From writing the latest blog (https://medium.com/@kanisa.unakul/the-role-of-images-in-society-4d1e3be0b4f0), I continue to do some visual experiment. I came up with an idea to make a set of edited pictures. First I pick one picture with no adjustment, then I try to make some edit in it. I try to make all the pictures look different even though it is originally the same.

This is the original photo that I use.

Original Photo

These are 5 pictures that I make some editing.

Image 1 might shows that the photographer like to tells story, have some action
Image 2 might shows that the photography like perfection, so they remove some elements out.
Image 3 might shows that the photographer like
Image 4 might shows that the photographer like minimal style.
Image 5 might tells that the photographer like film style.

As you can see that all photos are the same, but it can be edited, adjusted colours, cropped, removed some elements, and more. But it is originally the same photo.

These set of edited photos may tell about the photography but however, I also think that we cannot assume who they are by their photos.

Another think that I want to show is that even though it is the same place, but how different photographer make photos are different. Even though you see many pictures of one place, it doesn’t mean that you know how exactly the place look like. Because you see only some parts of it. There are still more that we can not see from the photos.
