I’ve been a big fan of Marissa Nadler. since I first heard her music in 2006, and have been loving the opportunities to collaborate with her, even if it’s remotely. Though I’ve shot her through FaceTime a couple times before, this was the first time that I used the in-app camera. Before I would project the call onto my studio wall and shoot through different materials. The thing that concerned me was trying to figure out how to upsize the small files.
In my last post I explained how I’ve been photographing prints in water. After doing a few experiments I wondered if it might work to do a FaceTime shoot and as a workaround to the low camera resolution, make a small print and reshoot it in water. It worked better than I’d hoped. I was pleasantly surprised to see that an 8x10” print looked more than decent. By the time I added water ripples to the mix, the shots looked amazing. I also had so many images that I liked, apart from the water shot, that I included a handful.
