[Photography] The Mysterious Worlds of Women

Today, I'd like to post some photographs from my final project for a photography class I took in college back in 2007. I believe the film was Ilford HP-5 Plus 400 Fast Black and White Professional Film. 

Taking pictures, developing the film, manipulating light exposure for desired effects, and then printing... Long hours were spent standing in the darkroom, making dozens of prints of the same film until I got something that I wanted. It wasn't easy, but it was extremely fun and rewarding in the end.









And my two favorites :



All I knew was that I wanted a picture of a pitch black room, 
the light flowing out from the refrigerator being the only source of light, 
and a woman holding a knife and peering into 
an empty refrigerator filled with bottles of water. 

Interpretations? I'll leave that up to you.

  2. @Harim Song: Yeah, I really want to try different things with the dolls, but they are so tiny that sometimes it's difficult to take pictures of them :-( If I had bigger dolls (43cm or in the 50cm range, it might be easier. But for now, we need to do that collaboration! Hehe- Yes Jiyea has lots of cameras X-D
