Fashion Photography and Generative Artwork by Clayton Cubitt and Tom Carden

早年Clayton Cubitt使用Processing創造一系列粒子應用的作品，由於視覺多樣性與幻化曲線吸引了攝影家Tom Carden的注意，Tom Carden看出圖像與流行時裝結合的淺力，於是提出合作。由Clayton Cubitt製作出高解析的黑白圖樣曲線，並與照片合成，最後應用在Metropop雜誌。

Last year, Tom Carden used the alpha version of Processing to produce a series of applets loosely based around the theme of attractors and particles. Working from a single code-base for particles operating under a gravity-like force, the presentation varied from smoke and spark effects to almost photographic abstract pixel exposures. One branch of the work was the result of an attempt to make a more ethereal and sketch-like visualisation of the forces at work. An example of this applet compatible with the latest release of Processing is available here.

Some time later, seeing the potential for integrating Tom's work with an upcoming fashion story he was shooting, photographer Clayton Cubitt got in touch and asked if high resolution images could be produced from the black and white version of the applet. Intrigued at the prospect of collaboration, Tom packaged up a version of his software which could preview and save large format images, and awaited the results.

Clayton set to work producing around 25 images from the software, with each one taking around 40 minutes to achieve the required finish. He then used the artwork whilst composing his photographs, using example prints to explain to the model what the finished story would look like, and arranging poses to best complement the essentially random process that had produced the inital artwork.

The finished results are published in the denim issue of Metropop magazine.
