Reflections

While nature and humanity have often been viewed as two separate forces, often in battle, I find that this dichotomous distinction can bring disconnect and apathy. Besides that, it simply isn’t the case on our planet, or at the very least, shouldn’t be. Looking for ways to bring the two in frame together led me to formulate the idea for ‘Reflections.’ This collection of portraits, many of which are self-portraits, brings the human existence into collision with WATER and NIGHTTIME- some of the darker, mysterious, even overlooked natural elements. My goal in creating this collection was to spend one year investigating this topic without using any digital compositing (i.e. photoshop), which forced some new in-camera techniques that added the analog element into this dance of nature and man.
