This project was for Studio Lighting: The Body. As a lover of abstract expressionism, I found a photograph of Jackson Pollock by Hans Namuth. The split lighting was purely natural. I wanted to replicate this split lighting in the studio. However, I sought not only to use this form of lighting but also to transmit this undiluted emotion, freedom, action and individual expression to the medium of photography. My model moved freely in the space of the studio. In presenting the work, the display was not to be a perfect, undifferentiated layout, instead mimicking the gestural nature of abstract expressionist paintings, alongside the lack of visual hierarchies.
