These are entirely composited, fictitious people. Each image includes 30 to 50 exposures of different models including different ethnicity, gender, body types, fashion, backgrounds, and lighting. These images explore future identity as we migrate: where is serendipity? What is my new identity, what is the aesthetic and how is it affected by my new built environment?
Perhaps you recognize this person? You are deceived, yet people remain infinitely interesting and fictitious people have stories to tell. My high multiple composites are completely realistic yet fictitious, textures and colours from the built environment invert fore-mid-background multiple times creating a contradiction: just where is the person within the picture plane? This mimics real migratory people and subsequent generations: just who are you?
