Last weekend I went to some sand dunes with my partner to take some photos.
We took some fabric with us as I wanted to see if I could capture their flow in the breeze. When we arrived the breeze was quite gentle so some photos took advantage of that and some required a bit of work form my partner.

When I process photos I’ll sometimes push some things further than I normally would. When it comes to processing I think I go more for “real” than I do “stylised” but I also like to play around a bit to see what happens. Sometimes I get something that I think will work, but even if I don’t I get to learn a little more. Anyway, the below is a result of playing around.

Part of the below was also in part trying to see if I could bring out the fabric (silk in this photo, as well as most of the rest taken) a bit more which was a success. I also ended up with something that looks like the result of someone trying to replicate Storm Thorgerson.

I like the form and shape seen in the fabric and my partner. I think there’s a sense of flow that comes through quite well.

This is my submission into the two hundred-and-sixty-first Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Work in Progress“.

I feel this counts due to what occurred after my partner and I wrapped up. I realised I should’ve put myself more against the slope of the dune and we began discussing redoing the photos at some point. After we were back in the car and driving away we decided we’d plan out a shoot making use of fabric in the breeze, rendering the photos taken on that day as the initial step for something better planned.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Week 1 – Tina

Week 2 – Patti

Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya

Week 4 – Amy

Week 5 – John Steiner

Week 6 – Sofia Alves

Week 7 – Anne Sandler

Week 8 – Donna

Week 9 – Guest host

Leya is curating this one. Amy is curating the next one.

I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.
