CONFLICT

The subject of this image is my host sister with her computer.

I took this picture with my camera in the night and then I print it in the dark room. The image has an almost liquid texture and a full range of values all the eyes give rhythm to the image crating unity.

the photo is a formal balance and a soft focus it's also a low “horizon line”, but what I think defines it the most is the low key lighting. I add filters to bring up the contrast and expose it for a little longer. But the image was kind of grey so I printed two more negatives and y tape them to the fist one, filtering more light.

the image is about privacy. I made it kind of creepy in propus because I feel like the idea of people observing me through my computer’s camera is really creepy and I want the viewer to get the same feeling.
