I created a series of up close, intimate, and darker images of myself. Utilizing a dark basement and a sunset projector lamp to my advantage, I created a series of images with a very intimate feel, with somewhat sensual undertones. The coloring, provided from the sunset lamp, was chosen to highlight my natural skin tone while also giving a dark, indie underground feel, reminiscent of visuals used by artists such as Shygirl in their content. The rather unnatural greenish-yellow and red tones that are present allow the images to have a sense of mystery to them, with the viewer trying to interpret the kind of world in which the environment these images take place in exists.
I edited these photos in Photoshop after taking them, making mild adjustments to the lighting and coloring, as well as ensuring the background behind my remained completely black, leaving no traces of the dark basement surrounding me.
