The following three series were shot consecutively in about a two hour period. Just me, my camera, and some music.
First,
Body
Self exploration through the camera in a way I haven't before.

Inspired by Bruce Nauman's photos and videos.
At first, I was uncomfortable to have this photo in the set because it is very personal and revealing. I'm not completely comfortable with my body but I just really love this shot.
This image is a combination of this series and an interlude into the next:
Light
I also did a series on light, shooting directly into sources of light with distortion.
It was a study of light and the various forms it can take with manipulation, including color and shape.
Hands
This series in a way combines two former series to explore the way I can interact with light and distort it using my body. My hands are probably my favorite part of my body and have such a strange and strong connotation to them. Pieces focused on hands have always intrigued me and I feel that my hands are very photogenic.

Hello Nicholas!
ReplyDeleteThis is Melissa (neon-electric on tumblr), if you still remember. It's been a while since I last communicated with you, since you left tumblr months ago. I remembered how you prefer constructive comments, so here goes! (I apologize in advance because I'm not very good at giving them)
I love the distortion in your exploration of light, makes the photographs look really abstract. I enjoyed the series on hands too! Maybe an experimentation with different hand positions as well as making use of the light distortions you created in the second series would be interesting, if it were possible. Just some thoughts, because I don't know how you made the distortions (though I would love to find out how).
By the way I started a tumblr (fromthephotographs) for my own work now. I'm still working at it, and I'm really inspired by your development as a photographer over the months. Keep working at it :)
Have a great day!
Regards,
Melissa
