UNIT 1 - RELATIONSHIPS (INSPIRATION 01)

Researching online I found a really young and talented artist from Singapore, her name is Kylie Woon. She’s an amateur photographer who posts her picture on Flickr under the nickname “Somewhere Lovely”. I literally fell in love with her album “365” from 2010. She explores the world of photomontage with class and simplicity giving a surreal and almost fantasy look to her pictures. I also like the deep and supernatural feeling that she has (as she always pose in her own pictures) and I would like to give the same “obscure” side at my pictures. In 207, 179 and 198 the model is suspended in a limbo between imagination and reality. The subject looks like if it’s trying to avoid a force that we can’t identify.

Also in 201 we immediately notice how there’s something weird going on. The gravity is visibly twisted and also the orientation of the picture confuses the viewer.

158 on the other hand is a  pretty technically easy picture but even if photoshop wasn't used the image still has a really interesting “zero gravity” effect.
