Divine Diptych Week 23 - Blue and Orange


Divine Diptych Week 23 - Blue and Orange
Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.

I was matched with the lovely and VERY talented Rowandevoe Blue and Orange was the theme for this week of Diptychs. Since I am so busy with school and everything I took a photo from my archives. This is from my second attempt at a 365 project.

I really like how the colours in these photos are so complimentary. :)

(I was the model but I got some time to get behind the camera as well and to also get a tutorial on all things strobist)

Concept: Me
Make-up artist: Dania Khanafer

As part of Gallery 101's "Gluttony" themed 101 Frames charity auction.

So essentially Gallery 101 has empty frames and local artists are encouraged to come in and get a frame and then create art with the theme "Gluttony". The frames will then be auctioned off at a silent auction.

I was feeling a little antsy today and felt that by taking some self-portraits I might burn off some creative energy. I think that it worked - although I should be doing school work instead.

I was paired this week with the very talented M.Fayre and our theme to interpret was a quote instead of a word. Our quote was "All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware." ~ Martin Buber When I initially read the quote I had a different concept in my head then what I ended up shooting but for some reason the thought of shooting in a graveyard was always in the back of me head. I suppose the thought of the journey taken (wherever it is that we go) after we die is certainly an interesting one and worth exploring. After seeing what M. Fayre had taken I had a feeling that each image would be complimentary to each other. :)

This is a diptych project by a group of female photographers who have known each other a long time on Flickr. The project matches two of us together each week with a different theme to interpret how we want, on an individual basis. We then create a diptych using each of our photographs.

The results of the collabrations are being posted on a blog, which you can find here ...

This is not my first time delving into using clones in a photo but this is the first time that I felt inspired to make them "ghost" like. Putting "ghosts" into my image was kind of appropriate considering I was hanging out in a graveyard. ;)

I am fairly happy with how this one turned out actually. :)
