Right now I am working on a project for my Digital Image Management class. The project is a spin off the group Suicide Girls. Suicide Girls is a website that features softcore pin-up-style photos and text profiles of goth, punk and indie-styled young women, although styles reminiscent of the 1940s and '50s pin-up models are also incorporated in the group. The reason I chose to do this is because I love old school pin-up style art and I have always wanted to recreate it and make it my own. I also want it to be about inner beauty and perceptual experience of pleasure and meaning. The way I am going about getting this feeling in my photos is very dark and mysterious, but sexy and flirty at the same time. I don't want any of the girls faces to be seen, so I have them wearing gas masks. The reason for this is because these masks are used to protect the face. I feel the eyes and face are a gateway to the soul, and I want the models to be pure in this unique environment.
My full artist statement is still yet to come, but I will post some stuff in the next few weeks. I hope you like the images and keep following this project and my travels.
