I was inspired to do this piece because of a recent Art History lecture I had on Andy Warhol. Although most of his work isn’t done by himself, he was the first artist to really embrace ‘Hollywood plastic’, and question society itself. He loved the fakeness in Hollywood and loved the celebrity image and used it to send a message to people about the kind of masks people wear. So I was really inspired to create something about society, and how its never ending on how much they can criticize you and make you want to change everything about you. The technical aspect of the photo is this: AB800 with large softbox at 1/4 power to camera left. The editing is fairly simple, just some curves and color adjustments in Photoshop.
The soft lighting in this photo is what initially caught my eye. As Katie stated it was produced by using a softbox.
You can check out more Katie’s work on her flickr photo stream and her myspace.
