“Escape,” 2007, View from an Inanimate Object
Stemming from the same assignment as the previous photograph, this image was shot from the perspective of a door. This door happens to be the door to the boiler room at a local elementary school in my home town. The location I was shooting in was actually found by accident, as it was three a.m. and on private, county property; my model and I were taking shots when we saw the headlights of a police car turn into the school’s parking lot. The moment we saw the lights, we ran in the opposite direction from the cops and ducked into a grungy looking stairwell–the entrance to the school’s basement.
I think this is one of your best photographs. I love the mystery of the picture. Where is it, where is the person going, and why are they alone? It is a very dark photograph, full of shadows and shapes. I also like the bright light above the figure that casts all the shadows. Great pic.
this picture is awesome!! how come we never saw it?? everything about it makes it great, especially the lighting.
