Mini Series: The Wanda Series.

This is a mini series called "The Wanda Series". It's mini because there aren't that many photos, and close to being randomly taken. These photos were taken for a French project to replicate Robert Doisneau's photograph called "Wanda". The photo consists of a woman as a star of her show performing for many men. The photo shows two sides; the inside of the club and the outside on the streets of a city. Two subjects include the woman inside the club and the dog close to the entrance of it. I'm not sure if there are any symbols concerning the woman or the dog, but if so, it's interesting, because I like symbolism and analyzing pieces of work.

However, my replication is not included in the series. These are just interesting photos taken in the attempts at replicating "Wanda". Overall, they're outtakes, but we (my brother and I) captured interesting photos in the dark, which are hard to attempt because we used a digital camera (RGBRGBRGB PIXELS.).

The ones that have a woman in them, are me. The others are my brother, Tomi.




I really liked this photo. The contrast of white and black, and the hint of the blue dress are prominent. The shadows shape the figure nicely, and make it more visible.

What I particularly liked about this photo was the shadow of the arm blending in with the arm itself. It almost seems like the shadow is connected to the body, kind of like a ghost. To me anyway.


Tomi says hello! :)

Again, shadows and slight contrast. Notice how I try to hide my head in almost all the photos in the series.

Eerie, huh?

The Game Has Changed Series

So I came back with the series.


This one is called The Game Has Changed Series. The name comes from the Tron Trailer, as said in my last post. The song is called "The Game Has Changed" written by Daft Punk. The series features Thomas Nguyen, my brother.

I have to say, it was a good series to shoot, but editing was a pain. I don't like that some of the RGB pixels showed up, due to my digital camera. a;sfjf;ajsf. I need a better one, but in this economy, you make due, right?


My most favorite one, because the two faces of him and the circulation of the light.



My second favorite. Again, two bodies with one power.




He loves to rave. Get him rave lights! this kid needs some.

so it has been 6 months since my new batch of photos. SIX MONTHS. but now that it's winter break, I've found time to edit some new photos. I have three new series and new photos. I've never posted a series on here, have I? Well basically, my series have one specific theme or look to it, and each photo consists of those characteristics within the series.

Some series that I have done are the Vampire Series

(bad quality due to it being JPG. :( October, 2008)

My Wedding Series

Disturbia Series

Placebo Series

Wonder Series

I also made an Official Black and White Series and a Promotion Series, but those are on the other computer. Anyways, these are just samples from my other series. I hope you like them. The majority of them were taken in 2007-2008ish, mainly because I had a like and no homework. >.>

But in the next post, I will post my "The Game Has Changed Series" featuring my brother as the model. As you can see, the name comes from the trailer for the new Tron movie. I absolutely love the song, and in my photos, he's raving, so I guess it matches. hehe.


So, will come in a bit! :)
