Description

My presentation consisted of 7 color photographs hang in a straight line.

In the beginning of the period I started to experiment with using colored gels in front of the flash of my camera. First I tried what would happen when you photograph green plants with a magenta flash but that mostly gave magenta pictures. But when I tried to make white light from green and magenta flashes together I found out that when the two are slightly in a different location you create colored shadows.

I soon discovered that if I used magenta and green or cyan and red people where confused with stereo photography so I decided to use only the combination yellow and blue.

By shooting at lost of different locations I started to look for mostly places with fences that gave lots of opportunities to give interesting shadows. Shadows that actually added something to the place, gave it a different/new meaning.
