What you see and what will work as a photographic image is something all photographers deal with. This process is not just seeing but visualize the image in your mind and how it relates to what you were thinking or feeling at the time you made the image. The photograph has an ability to convey emotion, mood and an idea, depending on the perception of what the photographer sees and feels.
Presently what we see and feel during this period of uncertainty can affect your psyche and the imagery your mind conjures. There is a certain amount of fatality and yet at the same time hope. So, how do you depict this isolation? I think your images have to depict a certain amount of darkness and brooding in order to illustrate this dislocation from perceived normal reality. I have chosen a series of surreal like images that depict the feelings, me as a photographer, feels trapped within.
The following images are an exercise in visualizing through photography the shadowy visual imagery that the mind and camera has captured in an attempt to conjure up this feeling of being adrift in this sea of nothingness.
All the images were created using a SONY A7II camera with some postproduction in Photoshop. If you have questions or comments they can be addressed to me at nymacc@gmail.com
