Sohee Photography

Through this semester with various photography courses, I became interested in the ‘Experimental photography. In Analog Black and White Photography, I tried to combine the photogram and original method of printing with the enlarger. For the Studio art seminar class, I overlapped two negative films and printed to create one image. Furthermore, in this class (ARS 281), I took the advantages of the digital photography which is flexible to composite and adjust the images, therefore; I created several imaginative series using Adobe Photoshop.

The subject matter of most of my art project is about the apple. As I mentioned in the proposal, red apple is the subject matter, which can symbolize my internal characteristic. For the art senior seminar class exhibition, I overlapped two negative films and printed to create one image to represent implies my external (physical appearance) and internal characteristics. After the show, some people asked me to do the same concept of series with color; therefore, I decided to create a color version of <My apples>. To complete the series, I took advantages of digital photography; manipulating vivid and saturated color, and producing composite image easily.

For the concept of this series, I derived inspiration from the ‘Alice in Wonderland’. I thought that the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ is suited for the motif because it has unrealistic and fantasy atmosphere what I want to express in my series. For this reason, I set the saturation high and produced the composite image to show unrealistic element.
