Digital_Self_Portrait_1.jpg : This is the Self Portrait I did for BU. I had always wanted to experiment with a particular kind of lighting so I shot this picture at night with only one source of light....a torch.
To further complement the picture I wanted to develop an environment which would reflect the darkness ( which could be attributed to the situation or the feeling of loneliness or to Fear ) of
the moment as well as had a stylised look and feel to it. I love trying to converge the different worlds, if you will.
A world of Fantasy, something very unrealistic and a world of Realism....and yet I like to keep the individualistic nature of both these worlds and show that in my art....my goal while doing this was not Photorealism..it was more about how can I depict the same incident/situation/moment happening in some Parallel Universe.
I tend to use Optical Artifacts a lot in my work to stylise it and not for realism....Realism for me is just a state of mind in which one is willing to accept things the way they look, feel, smell...but what if you decide to create your own Realities?? What if you decide to see this place from a different sense of Reality?
But its not something thats easy..right??
Well thats anther, point I wanted to make with the Environment....Its pretty distracting at first....but when you focus on what you want to see..the way you want to see....YOU SEE IT.
