These images were made with my medium format TLR and Lomochrome metropolis film. I've been making photographs outdoors when I can, usually on walks with Max and drives down the back roads where I can keep a distance from others. Trips outdoors are becoming less frequent and I will start photographing in and from the windows of my home as the peak date of the virus nears. Bowling Green gets eerily quiet after the sun goes down and I may give color night photography a try.
I am liking this pallet of brown and grey, especially in 1, 3, and 4. I feel like those are also your voice, your black and white photos echoes in those kind of pallet choices, it might be a way to blend it, having mute tones. I also like the emptiness that you mentioned in these photos, and the open plains I think best show it, especially since I drove down the roads for work, can get a sense of change in the air. Curious if you will continue this pallet as well of faded brown and grey, I think it will be interesting, but always curious on your color work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Logan about the pallet and the space in these pictures. They work together to created a quiet and peaceful air which I enjoy. Because the distance from you and the subject seem to be similar distances in all images they flow together nicely. I would actually like to see images with different spacing to see who your photography will change according to the space you give in between you and your subject.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the light color palette and softness of these photos. I like #1-4 the best, especially the way the clouds almost engulf the subjects in each. In #2 there's something eerie about how the dog is looking right at the camera, and I really like how this makes me question what is really happening in the place. It's a great example of having an animal be in a photo but not making it cliche in any way.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how 1 and 3 look. The film you are usings seems to really fit well with the world we are living in now. I really appreciate how the film seems to react to highlights, and cannot wait to see more. Have you made any prints?
