Into The Woods - iPhone Photography and Processing

As she turns each page, there is a certain transformation that begins. The solid floor under her bare feet become warmed by the forest's underbelly. The calm air in the room swirls to a gentle breeze that carries birds into the night. The grasses dance and the trees listen. She is halfway in.

 

Backstory:

We went to a vintage store yesterday. While looking at some clothing, I stumbled across an adorable, black petticoat. This is big news for a girl like me intoxicated with unique photography props, smiling.

It was with much excitement today that I gathered it in my arms (it's sizable, in the most polite form) and dashed downstairs to my makeshift studio. Then nearly immediately dashed back up the stairs to gather the camera. In all the excitement of the petticoat, I had forgotten it.

Though I intended the focus of this image to be the petticoat, the photograph embarked on an alternate journey. A book joined the frame and from there a forest thickened.

This is a prime example of how the creative world of photography takes me to places I had no intention of going, but I never tire of the surprise. On this day, I coalesced into the woods.

I feel sure the petticoat will make an appearance, in the near future. Smiling, again.

 

Apps Used:

Timer Camera (to get the self-portrait shot)

Diana (this is a new one for me, and I'm loving it)

Pixlr

Image Blender (to add trees and grasses)

 

Have a wonderfully creative Sunday, my friends. xo
