Watcher
For this project, I used a combination of photos I shot myself, one from a hike in Crested Butte, Colorado, and another from a night photoshoot where I used my boyfriend’s roommate as the subject. I lit the scene using my boyfriend’s cosplay lightsabers, which created the red and blue tones throughout the piece.
I wanted to play with the feeling of being watched, something eerie and cinematic, like a scene from a movie where you’re not sure if the person in the doorway is real or imagined. The ghosted layers of the figure came from blending several exposures to make him look like he’s both there and fading away at the same time.
The red light creates tension, while the blue helps balance it and keep the image from feeling too harsh. Together, they make the figure feel almost otherworldly, like he’s caught between worlds. Overall, the image is meant to feel unsettling but quiet, like a moment where time stretches and you can’t tell if you’re seeing something or remembering it.
All photos used are my own.
