Water

I can picture waves curling up in the ocean, droplets of dew delicately placed on strands of grass. I imagine a beautiful couple embracing each other’s warmth and touch in the pouring rain. Water suggests such an array of things, from passion, to sensuality, sex, freshness, insanity, growth, distress. I also associate deep, pounding, and rhythmical sounds with the element water. The pounding or tapping of rain, the roaring of rising waves or waterfalls. I want my final piece to suggest sounds. The sounds can be anything from absolute eerie silence, to the pounding of water from a waterfall forcefully crashing upon rocks. If a person looks deep enough into an image, they can fully experience the world being portrayed. They can feel the pain of the character, if the image allows, the intensity of the surroundings, the sounds of nature. 

Air

I chose to explore the element Air because similarly to water, I am inspired by the flow of it. I also adore how Air is absolutely everywhere. It is what we breath, what we are, what is not visible to the eye but very influential. I have been thinking a lot about elements throughout this project, and I only just realized how powerful the concept of air is. It is what connects each and every human in this world. It makes us one. It is what we share. The wind brings troubles, joys, and carries away the past. Air holds the future, and is what the future will be made of. In my final I intend on surrounding myself with air and emphasizing it’s importance and influence in everyday lives. Air will not be transparent in my final, as I think air is far too significant and thoroughly intriguing to be transparent. I hope that upon viewing my final piece, my audience will be able to understand the power of air in the character’s life, and possibly embrace the air that surrounds THEM in their lives.

can't think of anything else I want to do right now. The idea of living and breathing photography professionally makes me so happy. time to work for it. *sigh*


I will be uploading asap! Going to shoot a picture for a competition and post it up :] My MIA won't last long. Besides, I promised myself I'd never post anything that wasn't me. 


Ever wonder how much luck plays a role in everything? :/ scaaaaryy

No more damage can be done. 
My hurt, and your hurt
force a fight within me
a fight that will get me through this storm.


I'm so proud of this picture. I could stare at this for ages just feeling the story I created. It's so powerful to me, even though I created it. I want to experience this feeling with every picture I create.


I've found a 'style' that I love most. I want my work to be deep, emotional, dark. I want to be moved by my own pictures. I don't want to look at them and be like "oh, that looks cool". I don't ever want my conceptual work to be like that. Here's to a new beginning of me believing in my passion for dark art, and never settling for anything less :)

today was one of those days...

I don't really know if you can call this a failure, but I'm just not happy with it. Whenever I finish a picture I love, the feeling I experience is incredible...but I don't feel that with this one. I guess I'm at the point where I have to push myself much further. I really want to go far with my work so I can only learn from this picture and go out again tomorrow :) 

My battery died right after this picture, which was so annoying :/ I probably could've got something with a better perspective if I had more time. I don't like how my body falls outside of the frame.

This is an edited still from the stopmotion video I'm working on. It's about having life in the palm of your hands, and confronting fear/insecurity.

 To me, strength is holding on to yourself no matter how far you fall.

Things happen in life, and parts of you fade away. The only thing that always sticks is what makes you, and what completes you. Eventually, it helps bring back those parts you lost. 

ohhh photography...where will you take me? 

how did you get to where you are today? I love hearing stories. They're so inspirational and just what a lot of us 'youngsters' (gahh hate that word) need. Add me on my flickr and flickr mail me :) www.flickr.com/carolinegos

 Those Autumn Days

When I take pictures, I'm in my little world and I block out all the bad.

Autumn days and bitter-sweet memories. They all hit me.

Sometimes I wish I could just get stuck in my world and think. I can't even describe the feeling. I could have all the people in the world stare at me and I'd still be dreaming, thinking.

Today I ran around in my victorian dress in a forest at 6am, and some floral workers drove in circles around me with their truck. Best part is, I didn't even care :P I know what I'm doing and I know what I love. Anyway, I couldn't really blame them :P hahaa.


I don't portray myself in my photos. It's more like taking aspects of my life, my emotions and creating a story lived by this character you see in every one of my pictures. I understand this girl's story, I am this girl's story, but she's acting it out for me.


My concepts don't always relate to me. I'm just so inspired by how much we don't know. There's so much going on in the world that we have no idea about and sometimes I wonder how far life can take us. Our imagination can take us to place far beyond reach. We don't have the ability to know everything, but we have the ability to imagine everything.
