Over the Edge: A Senior Surreal Photo by Jason Spielman (2013)

This assignment was supposed to have many different layers which typically makes it harder to keep something simple. Using a texture of some sort was required so I decided to use a white sheet because it looked fairly similar to snow. I took many pictures of people snowboarding and finding the right angle to use was the hardest part. We also had to have an HDR photo which added a lot because it really brought out detail you wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. It originally wasn't black and white but towards the end I wanted to test it out and it actually felt less overwhelming and its overall feel was a lot cleaner. There wasn't a real meaning behind this piece but it reminds me of dreams about snowboarding and being in the snow.
