I’m so proud of this image. The b/w version won MobiMono 36 on Mobitog.com (The Iphoneography Community). I was thrilled. This image emerged from a short walk around a hotel in Knoxville. One thing I've noticed about my photography style is that I like to photograph the things that other people miss or find insignificant. For some reason, these things just jump out at me, begging for attention. Check out my workflow on this piece: {Crack}.
My Aunt has many trailing plants. Their cascading leaves flow languidly around her home. This one needs a little pruning but, nevertheless, is pretty as a picture. I used the negative space to give full attention to the plant. Snapseed created green highlights in the background that reflect the plant's leaves. See more in my series, Quiet Reflection. If you've ever watched America's Next Top Model, you'll see that the best poses are done by the really awkward looking girls. You're thinking, that pose couldn't possibly look good and then you see the shot and it's amazing! This is what I think of when I see this image. I didn’t take the original photo. I found a mannequin photo online and distorted it using Photo Deformer, Pix, and a little Repix (notice the drips? I can’t get enough drips!). The long neck and shoulder distortions are what really make these mannequins sing, in my opinion. |
