Gilbert&George BurtGummer !!RRMHFHglFsy
I know that Gilbert and George enjoy photographing everything, and i understand the reason why they mount their paintings in certain frames and fashions, but what i dont understand is the editing technique behind their photos. It appears that they are using just about everything in the book!

But surely these old guys havent learnt how to manipulate the shots themselves.

I can see HDR, selective desaturation, posterization, and all manner of cropping and clipping...

Sorry im on quite a Gilbert and George trip right now.

I saw a documentary about them a while back. I seem to remember them having a very expensive photo lab/studio with a massive printer and some assistants.

Most artists have assistants do stuff for them. Michelangelo didn't paint the Sistine Chapel by himself.

>Michelangelo didn't paint the Sistine Chapel by himself.

Actually im pretty sure he did, he had assistants in the preliminary work, but the actual painting took several years and was all by Michaelangelo himself. He almost went blind, and had to lie on his back regularly to stop himself from fainting.

"Here like a cat in a Lombardy sewer! Swelter and toil!
With my neck puffed out like a pigeon,
belly hanging like an empty sack,
beard pointing at the ceiling, and my brain
fallen backwards in my head!
Breastbone bulging like a harpy’s
and my face, from drips and droplets,
patterned like a marble pavement.
Ribs are poking in my guts; the only way
to counterweight my shoulders is to stick
my butt out. Don’t know where my feet are-
they’re just dancing by themselves!
In front I’ve sagged and stretched; behind,
my back is tauter than an archer’s bow!"

Now that man NEEDED a pillow.
