Continuing with the ‘colors’ series, here’s BLACK. This time, I wanted to practice using perspective.
Black
It’s really interesting to me how differently this turned out compared to ORANGE. The original nucleus of each image is simply a pair of jeans dyed a certain color. From that nucleus comes a style, a color palette, and ultimately the personality of the model. I find it interesting how much of an identity can be packed into a simple portrait like this. There’s something subversive about her childish expression over the backdrop of adolescent intellectual rebellion – a conscious self-parody of conformity to nonconformism stemming from precocious maturity. The ignorance and mastery of emotional lability reside on either side of the ’emo’ subculture, and she embraces both.
Now, which color shall I explore next?
