I have recently been taking some close up photos of walls in derelict buldings that have been spray-painted. I have been looking for square abstracts that just include a very small section of the original paint and perhaps some of the texture of the wall including cracks and peeling paper. Each image is based on an area that is perhaps 6 inches square. No graffiti artist would ever be able to recognise his or her work, and my photographic end product is a series of images that resemble work by some of the abstract expressionist painters (e.g Rothko).
I might mount and frame one or two for display in my own home. However if I use them elsewhere (e.g. public exhibition, photo competition, photo distinction) might I be accused of plagiarism? Would this be a reasonable accusation to make? Could/should this type of work be disqualified from photo competitions or exhibitions?
