Most of my work eventually comes back to portraiture. Having worked in and around the theater most of my life, as a photographer I like to create unexpected moments through play and experimentation.
This time around, the plan was to move away from focusing on the person and play with abstract composition— diagonal cascades of delicate limbs, or a tight crop of shoulder blades lit to suggest soft anvils.
I created several complex light setups which included Mole Richardson fresnels and soft lights, a projector with my own graphics, and some jewelry accents I'd made out of sculpted plastic.
