My second final image for my Snow White project. This is the Evil Queen..her jealousy pouring out of her fingertips and her ego's embracing her passion for beauty and control.

creating as much as I can in the next two weeks. Just got back from a partly successful shoot..going for another one tomorrow involving loads of paint and cloning! :D

 I'm SO happy with this! I've been trying to frame a portrait like this for the longest time. I shot from behind the twigs. I made it so one twig was outlining her head and the other one was framing the image from the bottom. I'm really proud :)

This was kind of spontaneous...what I originally planned didn't work. I think it turned out well, although I do want to take it up a notch...I don't want to get to a 'comfortable' level..I really want to push myself. So hopefully I'll come back with something tomorrow that'll make me proud :)
This one got onto PhotoVogue! http://www.vogue.it/photovogue/Portfolio/58492265-30c6-4a8c-9215-f72254052f9d/Image

sometimes less is more.

I initially envisioned this image having a lot more in the frame, for no meaningful reason whatsoever as it turns out. My art has always let emotion lead in a photograph. Sometimes that means stripping down to the basics and not using photoshop at all, and sometimes that just means complete solitude in an image, like in the image above. This emotion called for being portrayed just as I have. No birds, no cracks, no flying hair. Now all the pieces fit :)

I've been learning a lot about who I am as an artist more than learning more about photoshop or the camera recently and I think that's a really good thing. I guess I'm at a comfortable level with understanding my camera and even more so with photoshop, so I'm taking the time for myself before *hopefully* starting my journey in art school.
