Eyes and Ears and Mouth and Nose (Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes)

It’s been nearly five years since I’ve photographed @kate_sweeney and it was interesting to see the parallel in tone with our last shoot (third eye vibes). With this shoot I wanted to continue my exploration of the collage/cubist aesthetic, and began by photographing selectively lit body parts. After importing the images and projecting them onto Kate, I found that the arm and hand images were more impactful than the other body parts, so I leaned into using those in a number of different ways. Some were lit against a gray background, some silhouetted, and some I chose to invert. I rely on the unpredictability of the process to inform the composition and overall shoot direction. Thank you, Kate, for your patience and willingness to explore with me.
