I have looked at a photographer and artist called Vasilisa Forbes.
Vasilisa created a project called 'You were there, we were all there' and was based around the three E's. These are Erasing. Eroding. Entropy.
This is made up of a selection of photographs based around different themes but most images are of landscapes. By looking at Vasilisa work it seems as though they are enhanced using Adobe Photoshop. These are then enhanced by drawings rectangular shapes onto some areas of the images, hiding some of the most significant features such as people or buildings.
I am unsure as to why she has chosen these coloured shapes to cover parts of the image but by hiding the features it has a great effect on how they are read.

By covering these areas it almost take away part of the narrative to the images. Peoples faces and body language forms emotion to the image and the buildings show where these were taken.
As an audience to her work you are then left not knowing which areas are hidden as you don't get to view the original images. However sometimes she has some areas of the image left to view like the legs of people standing/posing or some of the structure of the buildings.
