#constructed reality

WraithLike by Thomas Ridgway Via Flickr: So this isn’t my normal style of imagery - usually I go for outside locations, for space and the freedom that comes with it. However when January began and we were packing down the decorations from Christmas I became obsessed with how awesome my partners attic. The beams were what drew me in - the sense of eerieness and I couldn’t turn it away - I knew I had to shoot in there. It became a challenge for me - a sense of pushing my creativity to somewhere that was outside my comfort zone and it has been a difficult thing - from trying not to bang my head or get splinters from crawling around the space, working with purely artificial light - no sunlight or anything and no real sense of knowing how the image would turn out like However one image caught my eye - a half in focus and half not shot of myself that just screamed - this will work and that has transformed into this image - the movement makes me think of the ringwraiths from lord of the rings and the ghost of Christmas past but it’s something that made me find this location to be strong for a ghost/extra Terrestrial vibe. I urge you all to try and push your creative zone this year - even it’s just one simple thing of trying indoor locations that restrict you to push your creativity - let me know what you do choose, how it goes - let me know your creative adventure Be sure to check out my website, and also my print store too

Nothing is real, except what we label as such. Reality doesn’t exist, except what we perceive as such. Everything is malleable, especially labels and perceptions.
