I find Abigail Reynold's work to be a great solution to modifying and enhancing a photograph. This image in particular, I am the most fond of. A few projects back, I incorporated paper folding by working with origami. Granted, I had to have more skilled origami makers complete the unicorn and chicken, but it did give me an appreciation for the kind of work that goes into paper folding and an appreciation for the aesthetic. This may be why the folding and shaping of the paper in this photo appeals so much to me. I regret that I have just seen her work because I would have attempted this technique on the last project. This does give me ideas for the final photo project. I think methods like this push photography into the next level and make them more of an art piece that can be appreciated on multiple levels. For people who argue whether or not photography is an art, they would have to rethink that logic when the art gets pushed even more through artistic modification.
