Fine Art nominee

The images in this series are set in natural or simulated night-time settings, and have involved the use of a great variety of flash techniques and lighting equipment, sometimes as many as ten portable flash units and as many light modifiers for one image (as was the case with "Marion under the Moon" and "In the Land of Strangers"). All of the images feature the same woman, Marion, with her face always turned away from the camera or partly "veiled," manifesting her differing aspects and guises and mysteries. I hope that the images evoke not only her modes and mood in particular, but those of virtually all women (and in truth, I hope, of men, too, though they may be less ready to see it).
