Merge - old and new

Merging photographs is not only to do with everyday things but it is also to do with the old and the new. Eric Nagy is a photographer who looks at merging together old and new concepts. He states that ' I decided to retrace the steps of the original photographers, take my own shots and digitally merge them to create my take on the before and after concept'  They are fascinating hybrid photos of Philadelphia.

The reason why I was attracted to Nagy's work is because of his use with a splash of colour within his black and white photography. Even though the photograph is great as black and white, I do believe the splash of colour gives it a bit of life and create more meaning towards it, that is what I have adapted within my final image, I have used a splash of colour to create a deeper meaning towards my photograph and I do like the image with a splash of colour than without it, especially when you know the true meaning behind it.
