The 591 Photography blog features self-portraits by Michelle Marie Roy through May 30.
“The basis for my work has nothing to do with capturing a moment or exploring the world through documentation. I create purely fictive scenarios that are an expression of an inner world or concept.”
“With regard to technique, all of my images are straight photographs. In other words, no Photoshop was used. This was mainly out of necessity at first. I was late in learning the program, and now, given the choice, it is the way I prefer to work. The effects in the photographs were created by several means, such as mixing daylight and artificial light, photographing through various materials, using make-up and costumes, and reflections.”
