Inky dress aka Queenie has been removed from the pinboard. I’m glad to see it go in a way it really did look desolate. Tucked away I can now work on several images I took over a period of time. This is as black as I want to go at present. Black can be so unrelenting.
I’ve been looking at an old book of photographs by Deborah Turbeville “Studio St. Petersburg”. Dark, grainy, gritty stuff. I am drawn to her work. Staged, artifice, posed, serious.
Deborah Turbeville was originally a fashion photographer and although these pictures have gravitas there is a hint of capriciousness about them if that is the correct word. So I’ve left a little colour in some of my images. After all no one wants to be brought down by their own work.
