Photography

BDes · Class of 2024

With my photography, I focus on the “strange and wonderful” aspects. Inspired by films and other art, I create creative conceptual photographic work that explores genres within fantasy and horror. With the use of lighting, sets, mixed media and other editing assets within my work to challenge my viewers to dive deeper into my work, to wonder why I made the decisions i did when editing and creating my art. I value having "weird" art, to break out of the norm with portrait photography.

Eden Eden is a mixed media photography work where I explored the physical aspects of alteration on an image. With the creation of Eden, I explored more diverse lighting with a snoot light on a boom stand for the key light and a reflector fill light in the back to add the bulbous shape in the background as a fill light. My process with mixed media within this photo starts with digital editing for the basics, where I then print it, tear corners or add items and scan it back in, where I adjust it again.
Where the Wind Weeps With this work, I explored a messier editing style than I was used to. I layered on textures and painted colours into the work to create a melancholic feel to it. I was also inspired by tin-type photography, how the image morphs into its creation from a negative.
The Unhurt, Unstruck, and Unbeaten With the production of this work, I decided to cast six models, the highest number of models I have ever worked with. The exploration of creating an image where they are comfortable with each other and creating this image helped understand how I can, as a photographer, build an environment where my clients can be relaxed with me and the others they are working with. To create the otherworldly feeling, I decided to do a central light, a portal-like form that the models surround and engulf.
