Non-Local Color

For my first project in digital photography I decided to do a picture of a girl that is scarfed smoking from a water pipe. I choose this concept because I wanted to bring out conflicting thoughts about smoking, being a female and being scarfed female. Does it make a difference what you smoke or who smokes it?

Smoking all together is bad for your health, which is why I used brown tone colors, with dark purple/blue spots which is the smoke color is depicting of what you are doing to your body, lungs in particular. Smoking is a very unhealthy habit, no matter what it is.

I choose to have the girl scarfed because typically when you see a girl scarfed you believe her to have very high morals and not to smoke. In our society for females to smoke many people find that unattractive, which is another factor that played in why I choose a female model.

The red pipe line is a representation for death.

I was inspired by Jill Enfield. I was inspired by her beautiful hand painted photographs. I love the color she uses in her work. Click to link to her work.
