Old Meets New



These two images derive from my discovery period of photography, as a form of art. These pictures where taken two years ago and set the stage for two major work sets as a whole. They set the basis for my future work and bring fourth many aspects in which I wish to continue my pieces. The heavy contrasting provides a certain depth and beauty to each photograph, which I would like to make into somewhat of a signature for myself. The deep blacks and the bright whites convey a sense of drama within an image that I tend to crave when I am looking at others works and picking certain images to show for my own. The whimsy of the images portrayed within each photograph, are juxtaposed with the depth of contrast and background. Both of these images provide a certain divergence. The realism of the background is disjoined by unrealistic images becoming a central focal point creating a metaphor that is up to the viewer’s interpretation. To further my work I would enjoy creating more images that have a reminisce of the realistic and fantasy worlds converging. I enjoy images that can create more dramatic reactions, but also would be interested in taking photographs solely with the intent to pull thought from the viewer. Reaction pieces that make you think, a continuation of my photographic journey.
