Repetition

Something that I’ve noticed in a lot of my artwork: I love repetition. I love the effect that it adds to a photograph. There is something dizzying about repetition- you’re seeing double. It’s intoxicating. 

One of my favorite photographers, Patrick McPheron, aka Interior State, uses repetition in his sci-fi photographs to create an otherworldly feel.

In the past, I’ve used blending modes on photoshop to create similar imagery to the one above. The effect is dizzying but cohesive. I enjoy making photographs that look like they’ve been captured through a kaleidoscope. The end results are usually similar to what someone could expect to see if they were on hallucinogenics.

I never go into photoshop with the end product in mind. For the most part, I have zero plans on how to edit a photograph when I first start. I play around with different effects and features until I create something so bizarre that it feels right.
