JUST SOME INFORMATION...I am a graduate student at Montclair State University and am getting my MAT in Art Education. This semester I took Digital Photo and the work you see here is the work i created in this photo class. Call my work old fashioned if you like, but i love it. I find immense beauty in old fashioned black and white photography. I have the ability to create more modern work, but love the style of early photography. I hope others can love it too. in this series of work i was mostly inspired by my model, whose ethereal qualities shone thru her visage and helped me to carry that inspiration into a dream like series of images.
this work was inspired by two things. the ethereal beauty of the model, and a poem by william blake, the sick rose. it reads:
ReplyDeleteO Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
I love them. The graveyard and the white clothing make the pictures eerily beautiful...
