Concept
Project Edge takes this a step further I have designed a specific
light modifier to create a very edgy light on the subject and using a
very edgy editing style, to create a very Raw and Edgy image.
Most people come to a portrait session to look all pretty and put on the smile and project their exterior beauty.I have set out upon the public to let them do the work in terms of
bringing their personality to the surface in a 5 minute portrait session
letting them be whoever they are without having to project merely
their exterior beauty.The final result in these images may not “Appear” beautiful to some
so therefore as a viewer you must look deeper into the image to discover
that beauty. Humans are unique both mentally and physically.I think people from all walks of life truly just want to be
themselves, yet get defined by their lifestyle, job, etc. This is an
opportunity to get an image taken that reflects possibly who they really
are or wanna be :)
Results
67 volunteer subjects shot in less than 3 weeks – 28 of which were men and 37 women.The success of this proves a couple things The very power of Social
Media i.e. Facebook, as that was the primary tool used to drive the
project. Also the power of Art, people from all walks are affected by
art and this shows the desire to be a part of a public art project.
