recent workings

I moved on from the desert shoot to take a whole new direction, but I'm not going to disclos

e that stuff yet, since it will be in the senior show. But I do have other things to talk about and show. I'm going to talk about what I'm doing for studio first.

I've been reflecting on my sister and I wanted to take photos of some of the spots that remind me of her and then do something to show how she is no longer here. So I started with some photos like this, where I deleted the spaces where she would have been:

These photos were interesting to me and I even took them a step further by using the tool "Content Aware" to fill in the spaces:

This was ok, but I didn't really like it that much. It's too much going on and it doesn't make any sense to me. So I talked with Kyle a bit about it and I decided that I was really interested in these forms of the places that she is no longer. So, right about this time I was thinking that I wanted to take some sort of cellular form and incorporate it into these photos somehow, or into the series. So, I took some cellular-like, body-like photos:

I got some good feedback on a few of these and I felt like I was getting off to a good start. I then incorporated some of the outlines to make these:

I'm happy with these. I like how the outlines are interacting with the subjects inside them, but they blend into each other too easily, so I have decided that a laser cut of the outline would work well as a solution. I have shot some more cell-like photos, but I'll post about them in a bit.
