my most popular photographs Untitled

I think it looks like a painting.I am aiming to make high fine art

not to just take a picture.

This is very beautifully done. I love the 'messyness' of it and the darkness of the background. If I may add one suggestion, it would be to add higher contrast to the bright blues and yellows in the image. That could give it the punch that it needs to reach the "high fine art" that you're looking for.

 

 

Nice work, Alisha!

 

:o)

 

Hi Alisha- Of all the images in your portfolio, this one works for me. I think it works for me mostly because in looking at it I am not sure if this is a person or a mannequin. That ambiguity gives a certain tension, and makes the image more abstract than your others, IMHO. It suggest both life and death, an odd mixture of decay and fertility. Interesting colors and textures. Keep shooting! -Keith

I feel that the left hand side of the photo is interesting and compelling, but from her breast on to the right could be cropped and I dont think it would detract from the image. The flowers over her breast on the bottom seem blurry to me... and now I think that Im really just liking the face... there is something very neo-classical about it... David or Ingres... Gerricault?

This series reminds me of Sir John Everett Millais Oil on canvas drowning Ophelia from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet.

 

Picking flowers she slips and falls into a stream. Mad with grief after her father’s murder by Hamlet, her lover, she allows herself to die. The flowers she holds are symbolic , daisies innocence.
