Surreal // Kristina

For the surreal edit I tried something a little more subtle on the spectrum of surreal, a bit of a ghostly skin tone and some coloured lips. Really, this isn’t super “surreal” per say, but for now it’ll work. (see the past 3 edits below this weeks) 

For this month’s colour challenges I plan on taking one image and editing it 4 different ways (based on each week’s theme).

Here’s week 1: warm tones. (featuring Amy)

Before I was met with this weeks challenge, I’d read a poetry book that somehow connected with me based on my style of photography. It seemed as if the poems were describing part of what I was thinking when I’d be shooting landscape images. Who knew it’d lead me not in the direction I thought, but to make a moody still life image.

So here it is - my photograph inspired by the poem Sunday by John Donlan. (This may be past the point, but I re-read this poem on a Sunday when I chose it.)

A few lines from the end of the poem go like this:

... Healing, you leak light like an eggshell pin-pricked: you glow, you hum like a man well mothered and well fathered.
