I am making a series of digital photographs depicting the form of the human body in an intimate manner. In creating this, my thought process was to take body away from what it literally is and instead treating it more as a surface. Since midterm I began to shift my focus onto hands but then changed back into abstraction and treating the body as a surface. Along side that, I began to shoot in a higher contrast than before, focusing on images with a more intimate feeling by getting closer, and to show more of the texture of the skin. Inspiration wise , I looked towards Miguel Ribeiro for his similar concept of the body, the choice of black and white and, high contrast.
