Gaylen Morgan "Outside/In"

y



I decided to blog about this photographer because he is a narrative photographer and since I am going along the lines of narrative photography in my series I wanted to include him. After looking at his images I started thinking that maybe I should begin taking photographs or even video-taping the environment and atmosphere in which I am taking my self-portraits to give the photos a deeper meaning. I thought that maybe this would help the viewer acquire a better understanding of the series and add another element to the photographs. A lot of windows are used in his series to provoke the outside in theme which enhances the light and mood of the photographs. I feel like all my images do not necessarily have to have a figure present because a lot of the time the space we live in is empty. So I was thinking of showing it in its natural uninhabited state..however, I do not want the series to become about specifically the environment. But it might work if I integrate them well.
