Identity Crisis

A portrait series that uncovers who we are, how others view us, and who we want to be.

Eleanor Rigby

My first attempt at video, branching off from my experiment with silhouette photography last year.  A stop-motion animation of one of my favorite Beatles' songs.  I took approximately 500 photos to create this piece. 

"Photograph"

For my final project in my digital arts class, we were asked to visually interpret a poem using Photoshop and Illustrator.  I decided to utilize my favorite poem; "Photograph" by Andrea Gibson.   I took a series of pictures to emphasize this narrative of love and loss.  I then digital manipulated these images and made them look like Polaroid photographs with the text of the poem underneath.  Here are some of the original photos that appeared in the project.

Silhouettes.

I love capturing shadows, but after seeing a performance of the modern dance company, Pilobolus; I was inspired to go further.  The following images are for my final Photography I project.   I used both a film and digital camera.  This technique was revisited in the Eleanor Rigby series.
