Blue Reflection Print - Limited Edition of 1

Instrument & Environment This body of work had it’s genesis with Tina Barney about 15 years ago, she told me to shoot myself, I laughed and waited ten years to try it, instead focusing on shooting hundreds of other women. A decade later, I found myself in front of a mirror with my camera, realizing for the first time that I had the ultimate model in myself, I could read my own mind, and didn’t have to give myself a glass of wine just to get relaxed enough to undress for the camera. I shoot myself in mirrors because I get instant feedback about how I look through my lens. I can move into the position I want and capture the female form exactly the way I want to. I shoot in antique mirrors because it allows me to use a shallow depth of field and focus on the glass, which gives me a wonderful soft focus on the form which echoes both my painted work and some of my favorite photos - out takes from my commissioned shoots, slightly blurred from movement and low light where the potent sexuality of my subject cuts loose and somehow I capture a little bit of it and keep it forever. The focus becomes the occlusions in the glass, the imperfections on the surface of the reflection taking the foreground and the form receding, becoming a powerful background, somehow softening the impact of the raw female form and taming it for popular consumption. Printing on aluminum is the perfect blend of soft flesh and a hard medium, producing a beautiful clarity of light and accenting the imperfections of the mirror.
