| Bending Gravity, 2011 |
To take this photo, my subject leaned onto a chair and put one foot against a brick wall. Another friend held the balloon horizontally in place. After the shot was taken, All objects were removed and another shot was taken of the background only. this way, I could crop out my other friend, who was holding the balloon, and the chair, which held my subject in place. Then, I rotated the picture to make it look as if he is walking up a wall. I think my picture makes the viewer think between what rules the world follows and what rules we want to follow. It shows that rules can be broken, even with good intentions. I did not expect my picture to look like this, however, I expected it to look much cleaner, and I didn't realize that the sleeve was cut off when I shot the photo. I had to recreate his arm, but it still looks fake to me. All in all, this picture took a lot of hard work, and a 30 minute drive to pretty much the coolest city in Jersey, Westfield.
