Photography by theme: January- Entrance

Bilde
Second theme - 'Entrance'.  (Open to interpretation). I quite early decided an interpretation for «entrance». I was hoping for a model to use as I thought about entering the mind…. My hope was capturing portraits and locations finding the deeper thoughts and secrets. We all have a darker side hidden in our mind, and that’s what I’m hoping to find in the pictures. And later in the prosess as I worked with the material, it became clear to me that I had to make it a story. 0_The first picture is the mind, and the state of it.

Tird theme: Rustic (open to enterpretation) After a googlesearch on ‘Rustic’ it seemed to me it all was about romantic countryside, or «my sweet home” accessories. That was not at all what came into my mind when I read the word ‘Rustic’ I thought of metal (maybe it was because of the resemblance of ‘rust’)… And I knew I wanted it to be a graphic design. And I love/hate the Norwegian “hytte” (cabin) style, a style that had it’s variants in my childhood home in the 70’s. A retro nationalromantic look of black/wrought iron and woven textiles on the walls. It’s nostalgic to me. So I found an object I have from that period, and tried to make it contemporary yet still old/rustic.  The pictures are supposed to be one unit/feature on the wall. I did not use a flash, because I thought that would be too much contrast and shadow (where I didn’t need them. Instead I used a lamp on some of them to make contrast and shadow the way I wanted.
