Colored Reflective Images: Bodyscapes & Portraits
This project started as a homework assignment for the online class From Concept to Presentation. I started with one mirror. Utilizing complementary colors, I explored the combinations of orange and blue, red and green, and yellow and purple. I tried one color, and I tried off-color combinations. Ultimately, the complementary combinations were the best, and I gravitated to orange and blue, my two favorite colors.
I wanted to create an image that stood out from old concepts. I first was more concerned about bodyscape. In the past, a bodyscape was a naked body in black and white with the edge of the form lit with harsh white light. I wanted to add color and show multiple facets of the body in one image, thus the mirror. All these images are created in a camera utilizing colored strobes and mirrors. I also wanted to develop a sense of confusion as a photograph invokes you to question what is happening.
I started with nude models. They created significant confusion. Then I wanted more structure and form and moved to dancers, creating striking shapes. One mirror was fascinating, even though something was missing. I added a second mirror; the confusion was terrific. As we are in a society always wanting more, I added a third mirror, and the illusion was mind-blowing.
Ultimately, what you see is what I and the camera saw - confusion, beauty, form, color, and multiple facets of a person or body.
While working on the bodyscape, I would also take some time and photograph portraits of the models and dancers. These were revealing as you can see two different sides of a person. The images lead to a movie poster and an album cover.
I hope you enjoy this fascinating world I created.
