I've always been really interested in the ParkeHarrison's work. But clearly it's very hard to do, and I feel like very hard to be inspired by without replicating it. What I want to take from this is the idea of creating an alternate landscape, a place that does not exist in the world we know. Also kind of like the Allison Davies photos I posted first on my blog, which I now see that I said "kind of reminds me of ParkeHarrison in color" so that makes sense haha. So I've know that that's what I'm more interested in with landscapes and I've been thinking of ways I can do this. I think using infrared film and cross processing slide film might help give the effect of an unnatural setting...maybe using a holga as well.
This is slide film I accidentally shot with a holga and had cross processed. I really like the effect, especially with the flash on a person, so I could use a figure interacting with a landscape and I think that might look pretty cool.
I'm really drawn to the dark skies of infrared film. It's not really green enough out yet to get the white trees and grass but I think that's okay because that feels like a little too much for me. The skies might be enough.
So WHAT to take photos of yet...I'm not so sure. Guess I should just start shooting with the different films and see what's working and what I can do from there.
