Old work, new post.
Hey, it's been a while. This past semester has been crazy busy, but now that things have calmed down a bit, I'm going to try to get back into posting more. Anyway, here are some composites I made for one of my classes last semester. I attempted to use a sort of surrealistic approach to examine the idea of portals in every day objects and repurposed my abstract water images to act as the "mysterious beyond" in each portal.

Final Portfolio
Here is my final portfolio that I spent the semester shooting for my Adv. Digital photography class. It's a total of 20 images, plus my artist's statement. Enjoy!
"I've always found that I do all of my best thinking around water; whether it be standing around in the shower and pondering my future, or sitting on a bench by a lake or stream. The fluidity, varying motions and forms, and reflections on water have always left me entranced and at ease in a way that I have yet to find in anything else. For this project, I wanted to explore that entrancement and dreamlike state that I enter when I look at the water's surface. In order to do that, I chose to abstract my images in a way that attempts to leave my audience wondering what exactly their looking at while still being able to easily decipher it. This approach will then, hopefully, lead the audience to get lost in these images and will perpetuate the same sort of feelings and emotions that are reminiscent of a dreamlike state.
This series was shot with a Canon Rebel XT, fitted with an 28-105mm lens, using only natural light and without any interference or staging on my part. All post-production editing was done with Adobe Photoshop, and were printed on 11x14 Arista II Luster Inkjet paper using an Epson 2880 Inkjet printer."
