Refinement, expansion, call it what you will

I've been updating my work and expanding on what I have instead of collecting 12 images and calling it quits. This is an expansion and a more in-depth study to one of my previous projects.

Inspirations came from two places, the way Vincent van Gogh painted and the secondary plot line from Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast. I've done a total of three photo sessions and I plan on doing more. Not only is my process of images are evolving but so are my thoughts and statements to this piece. I plan on having a more concert body of work (as well as a statement) in the future.

Low Tech Polaroid

I've been quiet for a few weeks. But there are good news, I've been working on a new project.

I've always loved Polaroid images, the way they look and the fact that they are instant. While conducting research for my Polaroid influenced project I found Lucas Samara. He would manipulate the image while it was exposing to give it a painted/surreal look. I instantly fell in love with it. However, there was a dilemma I faced. I have a Polaroid Land Camera but it doesn't work, also getting your hands on the film can be a little pricey if you're not ready for it. What was I to do? I still wanted to have an instant approach to the images. I decided to use my cellphone to capture the images and then put them into PhotoShop to edit them how I like.

Below are some examples. They're still works in progress but I'm happy with them so far.
