SYNTHESIS [SIN-THUH-SIS]
The combining of the constituent elements of
separate material or abstract entities into a single or
unified entity.
The Royal Photographic Society is delighted to be
showcasing a new exhibition at the Royal Albert
Hall, London, 10 August - 30 September 2026.
I photographed models from varying races and
cultures and used a range of materials and plants to
create new art pieces this was incorporated onto the
model’s skin, so the merging of two life forms.
Selected and curated by the Royal Albert Hall it
presents work from the Royal Photographic
Society new collection alongside work from 27
International Photography Exhibition artists.
Collages were created with the photographed
portraits using paper, plants, and fabric. These
collages were then rephotographed to create a new
portrait 'Synthesis'.
