Facts about this photo...
- 2pm at the local park on a sunny day in an open sewer is not the
time to shoot nudes
- This picture was emotionally driven
- Going out alone to shoot self-portraits makes me feel alive
- Rebirth is a theme I have long enjoyed, and I felt it come through
full-force here
- This was intentionally more gritty, recalling some of my earlier
photos.
I shot a lot of photos in that sewer. One woman walked up to me after watching me flip my hair around and said "You look really funny, you know that right?" Hehe um yes, thank you.
Despite how funny this shoot was, it was also very meaningful to me personally. I went into this "concept" very emotionally driven, a way that I don't typically work. It was refreshing.

It's a lovely image, which to me speaks of elegance, femininity, and vulnerability. Not so sure I got the title - it could mean so many (perhaps unpleasant) things in such a dark setting. You've obviously got me thinking about it, which is what good art should do. Love your work!

I get so self conscious shooting selfs alone; you are absolutely someone I look up to in that regard! This is also so emotional and such an amazing concept. I think it's awesome that you use your emotion in your work, and this shot is truly thought provoking under more than just the intended idea.

I love everything about this! I love the raw feeling I get. The sense of hopeless. Makes me imagine a fallen ballerina. I've always had a soft spot for ballerina's.
