Backlit, from the Front

While literally living in my parents basement, my father’s joke that the only light I get is from screens increasingly rings true. Inspired by this joke/complaint, I wanted to document my interaction with devices in a unique way.

LED screens have a uniform white backlight, with a color filter atop to create an image. In this series, I used the LED backlight of my 3 most used devices (Computer monitor, phone, and TV) as the sole source of illumination to capture my likeness while using the device.
