I think what is interesting about me and my take on art is that my biggest strength is also my greatest weakness and that is that I approach it primarily from an aesthetic standpoint. So all that stuff about saying something about the world is nice, but it doesn't mean a lot to me.

But this also brings up another topic, if I didn't put any story behind these shots then why do you like them? Really, I was just having fun experimenting with how many different ways I could colour the shots, how many different interpretations of 'yellow' I could come up with without looking the same? can I do light? can I do desaturated while still having the same impact as the saturated ones?

Or... is this my message? Is this what I'm trying to tell the world?

This is the first thing that springs to mind in that the ground, the sky, the bones, her face, the dress, the sword, the guys, everything about this has all come from separate pictures but Zugma has just used them to turn it into her own vision

also I just want to direct you towards these two amazing posts (that for the reference could since be amended with hundreds of new works)
