Self Portrait with Confetti (Single)
DESCRIPTION
I took this picture of myself on Kodak Tri-X 400 in the pitch dark with a single on camera flash. I wanted to capture the confetti in mid-air, but had no idea what would happen, if anything. In all my years of shooting models in my clothes, I had never been the subject of a photo. I am wearing one of my own pieces. I had taken the photo as a valentine for my then-boyfriend, but it has since come to mean so much more to me. It is a celebration of 35mm film, of fashion and of genuine spontaneity. It is also the first of what I would consider my fine art works, not simply fashion editorial.
