Artist's Comments

photographer - myself
model - myself

When photographing a person a photographer concentrates on lighting, composition, angles, lenses, focus...and so forth. Who has the best studio? The most up to date camera? Is the photo manipulated? All of these seem to be factors. Sometimes when concentrating on all of these techniques the essence of the model is lost.

At the same time we do it everyday. Hide behind our appearance. False emotions. Layers of makeup. Outrageous apparel or in contrast clothes that hide us. We tend to get lost. Perhaps on purpose. Maybe accidentally...

Striving for perfection. To fit in a size two. Fantastic hair. Amazing skin...

If we all stopped hiding behind mirrors. Using our own reflections as masks. Taking part in the worlds masquerade it makes me wonder if the world would be an easier place to live in.

As for the photo...
I might submit some of these as separate devs a later date. I really do like how a few of them turned out.

I also recommend a full view to be able to see any sort of detail.

This is a really interesting idea and very well portrayed. I think these could work as individual pieces but I really like the combination.

Agree with me.

I think my favorite is the very top and very bottom ones. Gorgeous composition, and I like the very subtle lighting. Nothing is too bright but its still striking. This was a fantastic idea, I'm happy for you that it worked out so well!

You just keep getting better. When I saw I had 4 deviation watches, I hoped they were you. Fantastic.

So true and eloquently put, You have a beautiful mind.
:iconsodaelephant:
The last one is my favourite by far ;) I just love feet, I guess. Amazing concept, and very well executed :)

98% of the teenage population are not emo. If you're of the 2% that is, shut the fuck up.

Excellent series, and great choice of order (I particularly like the last shot, there is a fragility in that pose and shot).
