Composite Photography

Here is a link to Nancy Burson's site. She has a series about composite photographs- one creating the image of a first place and a second place beauty contestant and my favorite, a composite [1] portrait based on the percentage of the world's warheads/weapons they control (This is what power looks like?).

Another interesting series is entitled the Human Race Machine [2] (which uses the same face repeated with different skin colors and the text "There is no gene for race"). 

She has photos of "Guys who look like" and "Women who look like Mary" and one questioning "He/She".

I want to continue to think about fashioning through her photographic work.
