A recent exploration in the large photographic quality of my paintings has led me to consider the language of photography, the language of painting and how the two could be combined in interesting and inquisitive ways. This is a photographic series in which I first painted my model's face and then photographed them in front of an abstractly painted backdrop using strobe lights to remove any shadows and make the image appear more two-dimensional. In this way, the viewer must work harder to discover not only my concept but also my process, and leads to a greater appreciation of both photography and painting.
