Project Description
A sort of Wood,
Or what goes on beyond the shadows and reflections?
This project began in 2021 by chance.
I took a photo of some willow flowers in a small pool of water where you could see the reflections of the trunks. I was fascinated by the photo.
It wasn’t until a year later that I had the opportunity to take a similar photo, i.e. with the same theme - although at the time I didn’t even know there was a theme - and since then I’ve returned to the theme again and again.
And what is a theme? The theme is the inversion of reality. What is real? What is in the water or what is reflected in the water? And are the two compatible? And if we invert the reflections, do they become reality?
Some of the photographs presented are composites; some have Focus Stacking to highlight both the reflections and the surface of the water; some have polarized parts and some don’t - digital composites; some have simply been inverted. Most have small cloned elements.
Some images were already in my portfolio and make sense to be here, most were made on purpose for this theme.
Self Critique
I like the possibilities that the project presents; to be explored.
Creative Direction
I just want to show my vision of the possibilities that a forest presents when seen in a reflection or in any other non-linear way.
