Title of Artwork: Teary Eyed
Art Description: The description I gave for the Starry Night photograph was meant for this image:
"The passion to create editorial bridal photographs inspired me to create this piece. I hope to one day photograph bridal pieces for the likes of Andrea Iyama, whose stunning collections always embolden me to put out higher quality work.
So I decided to create an image with a story behind it, a photograph that tells a story of a bride who is experiencing heartbreak on her wedding day. I wanted to leave it as a colored picture but I decided later on that making it monochromatic and contrasty would better portray the conflicting emotions she is feeling.
"
For the Starry Night Image:
I was inspired by Lindsay Adler's dedication to always trying new lighting techniques and create new timeless pieces every time she picks up her camera.
