Being a bit reflective over these last few weeks, I started looking at my past work. It has been fun looking at things from life before COVID, nostalgic I guess. It also reminds me how much I love the act of creating things. Here is a photo series I did when I was in college..

Criminal Intent

This was the first series using studio images I ever attempted, my goal was to explore modern-day myths using archetypes from crime films. The series of images also relied heavily on religious iconography from my childhood and the work of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell.

I shot individual close-up images of each part of the person in order to create very large images. Then I stitched together the portraits seamlessly and left the backgrounds rough to reference the technique. I relied heavily on propping and colour to help reinforce my theme and concept.
