Photomanipulation nominee

This image is the depiction of the present and future of a man who is ordering another pint in a pub. Unknowingly the potential fate of the individual is shown through the empty pint glass. And an unfortunate car crash the individual has been through after drinking to much and driving.

BASTARD TURPIN is a image making partnership of Kai Bastard and Bill Turpin. Their projects exemplify an image’s ability to not only draw an audience’s attention, but tell a story, coax self-reflection, and inspire critical thinking.

They focus on creating controversial social messaging embodying a cross section of human observations surrounding sexual, political and emotional issues.These surreal, at times illusory images both shock and amuse, breaking through the everyday noise promoting discussion and encourage debate.
