Diptychs

This project was difficult to start.  I did not want to repeat/copy other photographers' work, and many of my other ideas seemed pointless.  One day while walking to class I looked at a tree which had branches that were over lapping and instantly thought of hair being braided.  After that I realized how much my mind instantly brought up an image of something that resembled what I was physicality looking at.  Sadly the tree image did not translate well into photograph form, but I was able to find other objects that did. With this project I wanted to show how man is bring back nature into every day objects after we have come in and destroyed a lot of it.

Dramatic Lighting: Alien Invasion!

For this series I accidentally discovered this blue light while I was balancing my image for tungsten lighting. The blue light produced a very ire feel that looked very alien like.  So I used it to my advantage.  The idea was that, if aliens excited, it would not matter how old you were or what you were doing, they could take you.  I ended up scaring myself with the idea. I hope they can produce the same emotions in others.
