chasing the moon

as inspired by some photos I shot a few months ago as well as an assignment in my color photography class, this little series tells the story of a girl gliding through the woods chasing the moon and as she comes closer and closer the colors become more intensive, lush and spring-like

I wanted to play with tension and color schemes and combination, as well as photoshop manipulations

I have always been intrigued by levitation work but I have taken the literal way out in most of my endeavors,by literally jumping time and time again until I could achieve the right composition with my body and I decided it was about time I did it a different way, through layer masks and a 10 dollar stool from Walmart

I think this was, for the most part, a success (much more so than my first attempt years and years ago)


enjoy!
