Ever since I started photography I have loved simplicity. Heck, even when I was in film school I would always think to myself: Can’t we just use natural light? And so when I discovered I had full control over my camera and what I produced with it, I ditched the lights and the confusion in favor of simplicity. I have always loved photographing against a blank white wall, and still crave shoots like that. I used to spend hours brainstorming what I could put in front of a white wall that I haven’t done before.
A little while ago I found a big black feather and took it home with me, hoping to use it for a photo. I promptly forgot about it until it suddenly appeared in my car, and I decided to put it to use. I love the way that the human form can be so evocative, expressing emotion much the same way as our faces. Contorting a certain way, lighting a certain way, and through editing we are able to create atmosphere with almost no help from outside elements. In this case I wore an ace bandage and made sure the lighting was more severe than I normally utilize.
I chose to pose against a wall that had only one light source: a window coming from the left. After that, it became simple to find a pose that felt right, and the shoot was over quickly.

Foteini - Where i live , the weather is unpredictable(almost everyday it’s raining), so i can’t go outside to take some pictures . Thankfully , the house i live now has white walls . When i saw that it’s raining , i use my imagination and the white walls to create sth new! Here is an example https://www.flickr.com/photos/foteini_z/17652946621/in/dateposted-public/lightbox/
Rocio - Perfection. I live watching your process.
Elizabeth - Brooke, you’ve always been a huge inspiration to me. A blank wall is always my canvas to create any kind of world I want! http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/lifesizedpaperdoll/17415834914/
ritabrata mukherjee - In bengali language, there is an old saying…”knowledge grows if shared”. You proved it to be true.
Suzanne Prouzos - Your work is so inspirational I love to use blank walls as a canvas to portray the image the way I envisage it…
Elisabeth Ladwig - Ack! So close! I forgot I had added a tree line at the bottom. This was my first attempt at a composite:

I have been drawn to the idea of creating more images with plainer backgrounds, though, like the one I did for the Caterpillar Walk. (Thank you for including it on the table display at the Walk, btw! xo)
