Introduction part for 305 Photo image capture and 215 Digital image manipulation
Majority of people once a wile saw hit film of the year 2002 - The Ring, what was followed by The Ring II. Originally made in Japan and re-filmed in American version as remake.
Both films are based on Koji Suzuki`s novel Ring and focus on a mysterious cursed videotape that contains a seemingly random series of disturbing images.
The main character of the film is little girl Samara - frightening little girl a ghost who chooses to haunt through the processes of media.
The Backstory of Samara:
Samara, when alive, was a very powerful psychic child with a terrible sadistic streak. She could implant her nightmarish mental images into photograph film. This is what is, generally known as PHOTOKINESIS (the telekinetic ability to create, control, and manipulate light and energy). She also had limited Telepathic powers as she had the ability of implanting thoughts and images into the minds of others. However, she could not tell the future nor read other's minds since she could not stop her own murder, when she was throwed down the well - spending seven days slowly dying at the bottom of it Samara contemplates revenge on all humanity over her horrific death. 
My ideas:I always had warm filings for that girl, as she can’t help what she was and also with deep love for horror film makers I can’t stop to think about idea making something similar but in photographs. So since last year I decided to transform Samara`s image into my daughter as she suit to that role perfectly.
Right below is one of my made images – manipulated in Photoshop- consisting of two images put together. One was made in studio capturing Mersedesa (my daughter), other one misty morning in local park. It’s not a perfect one, but I wanted to show at least something as example for now - on what sort of photographs I`ll be working to complete my ideas.
Searching in internet I found lots of sites with similar ideas to mine, but only difference is that -in my case Samara won’t be so much as an evil, but more like a victim.
I`ll hoping to make at least ten thematic images and they will cover both of my assignments.
