VIEW IN MY ROOM
This collection is of original 4"x5" large format vintage polaroids which I used as studies for my final images, you can detect the fold lines where I cropped the image and see the chemical aging process existing on the original polaroid. I have treated the scanned polaroid as I prefer artistically now, but each of these concepts was created in my studios in New York City, Chicago or St Louis in 1984-1985. My subjects were primarily fashion models that I worked with professionally and then we collaborated to create these figurative pieces. I was always interested in using the camera and lighting as a designer rather than for reportage. This concept required the patience of the model as we searching carefully for sculptural perspectives while she remained motionless on the set while turned away. This concept we were attempting to show abstract shapes by positioning and lighting the figure from above with a single strobe. The still and calm presence of the female model allows for the light to spill gracefully over her while giving the appearance of physical strength which contradicts the actual fragility of the female shoulder line.
