Project #4: Narrative Storytelling

Phoenix Fire in the Midsummer Sky

This series of images was inspired by the Tokusatsu genre of shows and films (Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, etc.), particularly the scenes of giant monster battles. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been in love with these giant monster action-based shows and films, and the one-on-one fight scenes most common in this genre that started with Godzilla Raids Again (1955), when Godzilla took on his first foe Anguirus, are what inspired this project- which ended up being a homage to Episode 4 of Ultraman Orb, “Beware of Fire in the Midsummer Sky”.
