*** 23.9.09 *** Featured by [link] ************* Macro fun, using a hand from a Dream of Doll Idol body on my hand, very difficult to take because with my macro lens (as it's not a macro specific lens) you have to be a good distance away from the camera . . . . so then you can see the object and placement & focus is a matter of perseverance.
This is a very interesting series and a nice approach to this idea of ideal beauty. I've been dealing with similar themes in my work, so it is cool to see how other artists approach this issue. I like this shot in particular because you've created a really nice contrast between the smoothness of the mannequin hand and the true lines of a real hand. It really brings to life this whole concept of airbrushing away "imperfections" to become this idealized figure like Barbie. And when these two images are juxtaposed together like you have done, it shows this reality which is rather frightening. Nice work!
