Jason Miller creates his conceptually driven images in-studio, Memphis, TN. Miller is interested in making imagery that deals with human subjects interrelating and communicating through archaic 20th century artifacts. He works both in single imagery as well as grand format digital montage. Historical topics including Memento mori, Vanitas, and a self-reflection on modern human inventions of communication paired with mirrors and symbolism are placed in communion with the use of chiaroscuro, thoroughly considered custom museum dioramas, and highly detailed photographic based renderings. .

No images, mediated or otherwise, are used that do not first pass directly through Millerâs camera. The goal of the photographically created images is to transcend being merely esthetically pleasing in order to arrive at a materialization of the underlying thought process. "My work is designed, from conception to final presentation, to lay bare the struggle and chess play behind my process.".

Self Reflection: This project was one of my favourite shoots so far because I am a big fan of portraits and capturing emotion. One thing I learnt was to look deeper into my results because the ones I was going to cut at at first are the ones I ended up finding the strongest. It was really satisfying to put together a spread that represents the essence of youth. To me this album says "teens who want to party off the schoolweek with their best friends". I am really happy with how I completed this project.
Snapshot of the day, 17th October 2008. I'm surprised at how well this bitch and I (her pup beside her, but not visible in this shot) blend in with each other, since I consider myself more of a cat person: dogs are too much of an obligation.

I this to be one of the easier projects to do. I think I did any alright job. It was a bit difficult to make the selection of the wine glass. I tried several times with different with different backgrounds but the reflection made it difficult.

bear with me here.
this project, if about anything, is self reflection. and when self-reflecting, one sometimes finds aspects of one's self that one is not especially proud of.
one of those aspects for me is the green eyed monster: jealousy. i must admit, i am often jealous of the attention some people's photostream gets compared to mine.
when i think about it, the rational part of me knows that frankly, many of the photographers simply take better pictures than me. some, may simply "work" flickr better - tagging photos better, submitting to groups etc....
and ultimately, it makes me question why i take pictures - or maybe better put, why i want to share them - online and otherwise. i *think* i would say i don't do it for praise, but because it is fulfilling on another level.
but yet, despite all of the rational reasons, i *still* feel it. makes me want to give up sometimes - not bother.
i can imagine all the eye rolling going on by anyone reading this. well, my hope is by acknowledging these feelings like one would acknowledge an unwelcome house guest i can get past them, and back to why i take photos.

The assignment: react to Lee Friedlander's image (erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/fr...) and try to emulate the artist's intent, not imitate it. This is one of my attempts, in which I take Friedlander's use of reflections and shadows to include himself in street images. In this case, I have opposed Friedlander by eliminating the distraction of an automobile on the right - Friedlander decided to include the same in his image.
