Blue Steel

I worked with Anaish a few weeks ago for my fashion portfolio. She asked me: "Is there more to life other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking."  ;) To all my (three total) blog followers, apologies for taking so long between posts! xoxo

 

keep moving

This is an ongoing project about the body. An exploration of both movement as well as the idea of the body as abstract. There were many great images so here are just a select few. A big shout out to Alexis - you were an amazing model, thank you!

  

You say tomato, I say...

Memory

This is a project about memory - the idea that memories are as unique as each of us. Memories seem clear but often have been broken into pieces and are rough around the edges. How the pieces of memory fit together is ever-changing.

"The difference between false memories and true ones - it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant." ~Salvador Dali

Color in the Dark

I started a color darkroom class a few weeks ago. The process is so light-sensitive, you have to expose your paper in complete darkness. So I spend 3 hours of classtime a week in a pitch black room, walking around with my arms out in front of me, bumping into walls and laughing at how funny I must look. As much as I thought I would hate this whole process - particularly fearing that my claustrophobia would kick in and cause major panic attacks - I've actually found the experience quite peaceful and I love the final prints that I've been able to make. Here are some photographs from my scanned color film - a snowy 2am adventure a few weeks ago, winter in NYC, and a few apartment shots.

 

 

self-portraits

After recreating Rosie, I realized I'd never played around with self-portraits before. So I tried a variety of ideas and here is a project I like - I plan to continue it by discovering more weird and wild places to stand on!

 

a photo a day

Last week, my assignment was to draw tiny slips of paper out of two plastic baggies and use the words as inspiration for a photo a day project. The two slips I drew were "nostalgia" and "Laura Mulvey". Combining the two words, I created a personal interpretation and here is the final product. A shout out to Vanessa and Lara for being amazing models!!

 

That first image kicked off an idea of recreating other iconic images. Here are two others that I made. Rosie the Riveter:

Next up, some interesting self-portraits of my own.
