Description

Naturalistic

My naturalistic work is based on the simple phrase ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’, thus teeing in with the theme; ‘Beyond the Surface’. On the surface, the piece depicts a young girl, holding a firearm in a gritty corridor, wearing a war helmet with blood splattered on the walls. These elements tie together to create an atmospheric, visual narrative about a young girl, forced into conflict, and yet tormented by her own actions. However, the original concept I had for this piece is nothing like its current appearance. Originally I had planned to photograph a girl sitting in a derelict home, with her hair covering her eyes, and wings graffiti’s onto the wall behind her. Still, the message behind the work was the same, being that the way someone appears will never represent whom they are inside. Still, the only reason that this original concept never made it into the final edit was simply the lack of any derelict home to photograph. This led me into a dilemma whereby I ended up spending far too much time thinking of some way to create my original concept. Thus, when I finally realized how much time I’d wasted, I went out and took a whole heap of photos with my model which I thought I might be able to use. Then, as I was heading home that night, I had the idea of creating my own derelict scene, for which, the entrance to my apartment would be the perfect location. This work is composed of many photos; core to this work is a HDR image of the young girl, as well as other photos of concrete and clouds for additional texturing. Still, I have to give credit for the blood brushes, which were kindly provided by both;

Used under fair use. Overall this is my favorite piece of the assignment, and the piece in which I believe is most successful.
