pretty much in the title – been sick the past couple days and got in a rlly creative mood today after i finally deep cleaned my room yesterday, so i set up my projector and scanner and started messing around :3 i had a lot of fun with this, its been a while since i started a shoot with no plan and just messed around with whatever idea came to mind, and im pretty happy with the results!! it was a very therapeutic exercise and something i think i could definitely use more of hehe
i find i often get stuck in the planning of photography – or atleast the feeling that there needs to be a plan, an idea, a concept driving the whole thing – but its also a lovely medium to use for in-the-moment expression, which is something i think has been subconsciously reserved for drawing, painting, and dancing in my mind. though this is definitely in error, i think i view those mediums as more catered to internal expression because its a very linear progression from thought to movement to marks on a page, whereas photography has a more convoluted process behind it? not sure, that feels accurate to say in this moment though. it any rate its a paradigm i would like to break down :3
as far as the pics themselves go, theres images of my fingers being projected onto me from the scanner (and one of them is an old set of pictures of my eyes, ive gotten a lot of mileage out of those lol), and then i overlaid the scans of my hand onto the images in photoshop after for some more texture :3 rrwfff
