Hiroko K

Photograph, 14x11x5/8, 1991, NFS

Hiroko K was a model who I met on Capitol Hill back in late 1991. DIY test toning with donated photo paper. Toner made out of spent developer and Velvet shank fungus that grew in it.

In the beginning, inspired by a fashion photographer's book. Later on, finding a model muse who helped me establish my signature style of shooting. Still working with different emotions for the images, some strong and some shy and others a mix of whatever going meditation is that day. Will usually try to create my own style of a genre or style but not to copy what the other photographer or artist has done but get the feeling of what they have created. Sometimes successful and other times it's just for experience.
