These are HDR images that i processed using Photomatix. High Dynamic Range photographs are shot in raw picture format on the camera, with it also set to auto-exposure bracketing (AEB) and setting the aperture usually 2-3 stops down from each other. Once set to AEB i take 3 separate images one over exposed, underexposed and another that has correct light metering. Photomatix then takes those images smushes them together to create a picture with more tonal range.

Each of these pictures was actually 3, i have never done HDR imaging before so this was a kind of warm up. Though it is more of a hassle i think the quality is apparent.(i have to admit using a tripod would of helped)

This is a look at symmetry, with repitition in forms. The flow of repitition is simplistic in means of just copying a segment over and over, yet complex. Think of a DNA strand that appears to be just a spiral, when in actuality it is a code for the most intricate life. Also a fractal which is a geometrical shape that is repeated at smaller and smaller scales producing an irregular form, raising a question of how can you go from symmetry to irregularity with only a repetition? When you look at this work the repetition is obvious, as well as a pattern and flow of the images merging appearing then as a solid form that they are not in actuality.

These images where a kind of test run of a concept that’s been turning in my head for a while. The images first off are a blend of several different mediums representing a kind of collage, working with only few cut outs of magazines and other photographs making the work i think a little more coherent. Placing this model completely out of context of where i cut her out from then into a world that i created, also fitting them in the frame giving them objects that are in their line of site that they then seem to be focusing on. This work was i guess my answer to the questions i had while i would look through magazines wondering what the models look at as they stare off the side of the page, and putting the model in a place she has never been or at least familiar to.

Capturing the shadows cast themselves onto other objects, my unintentional stumbled upon some interesting shadow placements started becoming more noticeable as I started looking for them .
