Sun Kissed and Star
Digital Photography Series
"It's our outer shell that seems to fear cold most, acting as a sentry on perpetual watch. Receptors for warmth lie deeper in the skin, and there are fewer of them."
-Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses, p.89
Statement:
My photographs ties in with the quote I found from Ackermans' section, 'The Inner Climate.' I took inspiration from the idea that the warmth lies deep and there are few of the receptors. My models 'outer shell' or skin is being hit lightly by the sun. The tiny, bright spots of sun are lightly kissing her skin. Almost as if you could feel the warmth hitting her skin through the picture. She is glancing at where the heat is coming from in a seemingly appreciative way. The sun is light and inviting and her skin seems to be taking that in. I used a strainer to make the dots and gave the photos a black and white filter for a more dramatic effect.
