Tiffany Helms, 2020
For the first time in about as long as I can remember I feel like posting something, so before that feeling goes away I’m going to post something.
Technically these photos are behind the scenes from that last shoot I did in 2020. I don’t really see them as BTS because there was a lot of intention behind them and I was ultimately shooting the way I like to shoot. I loved the intricate rope work and the way it interacted with the skin. The final images we got during the actual shoot are really striking and were specifically designed by @bruisedproduce to pop, but there’s something very lovely about these very basic black and white images.
These past few weeks of quarantine have been my most productive artistically. I hinted at what I was doing and I’ll announce it soon, but like I said I just got the urge to share something with you, something fresh. The most frustrating part of all this has been my inability to act on many of my new ideas. Typically an idea will come to me and I’ll let it marinate for a while, figuring out the specifics of what it means and why it’s worth shooting. These past seven months I’ve had all these ideas but I rarely foster them because I know I won’t be able to make them happen. I don’t know where I going with any of this, I’m getting to the point where I’m considering self-portraits and for that I will be truly sorry.
