Nacho Ormaechea

Ormaechea has very visually intriguing work, he essentially takes two layers and combines them into an image to create an alternate view and reality, The image demonstrated here shows a very minimal toned background with someone on a bike, with an additional layer inside of the subject's body with a completely different image which juxtaposes the original picture, this works well and fits the intent of his aim with photography as he uses the red to add life and more elements to this particular image this work well because it highlights a perfect contrast between the tonal greys and vibrant hues of red and blue. 

Each layer has a specific purpose and contributes to the overall narrative of the image, it forces the viewer to engage instantly as if the mundane background doesn't intrigue you, and the layers inside the subject are almost strange which gives you more room for interpretation for what it could be demonstrating both visually and conceptually and this image does that well. Ormaechea uses the layering technique to flawlessly blend many visual elements, inviting viewers to investigate the image's depth and unearth hidden meanings. 

A recurring theme Nacho Ormaechea's images that work effectively is how he uses the images inside of the body of the subject to match the lines and grids of his subjects it makes the overall outcome of the photograph look more cohesive and seamless. In a lot of Ormaechea's images, he seems to be very intentional about taking pictures of his subjects in almost isolated places, I feel like this works effectively for his style of photography as having on-focus subjects allows the viewer to interpret how he visually contributes to the art of layers.
