jon I love seeing the contrast between your photos and the magazine ads. It's very refreshing. Having those contrasting images there really brings out the beauty in yours, in the compositions as well as the models. I like how you have them in an environment, something that is bigger than their body and I'm sure an environment that defines them. Its a great idea. It would be cool to see quotes from them in your text with the images.
I'm a big fan of the way you layered the images. I've been interested in layering that I've seen done in darkroom photograpy with multiple papers. This seems like a good digital example. I know I'm not in your advertising class or whatever it is mais, m'en fou. My only question is, is amanda supposed to be dancing or what is she doing?
“I’ve spent much of my life transient and this experience [has inspired my work]. I was born in the United States but spent the majority of my childhood and adolescent years in Nairobi, Kenya. Even my first year of university was outside of the United States in London, England. Often when I was growing up I felt caught somewhere between fitting in and terribly out of place. That feeling didn’t change in or out of the United States. I believe it is precisely this lack of a “home” that inspires me to search out people with common experiences. The act of hearing others’ stories of struggle, movement and self-awareness gives me a sense of community. It is in their experiences that I find myself—not because our stories are the same but because I relate to the emotions they have.” –Movement of People by Jon Helfers.
