Atlanta Portraits :: Mind As Water
Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:00:00 +0000

Mind As Water is a series of thematically similar images that illustrate the connection of the individual to the human race and illuminate our natural connection to water while drawing attention to water needs around the world. I hope you like the environmental and humanitarian goals that are included, and follow the project on facebook so that you can become a subject and lend your support here in Atlanta http://www.facebook.com/MindAsWater


FAQ:

1. Who Are you? Neil Cowley - Visual Artist with over 10 years experience in the photography industry - this is my first large scale fine art exhibition which I have been working on for over 2 years.

2. Where are these shot? In the shower - I come to your location, or you to mine, and shoot for 20-40min as you get used to looking in the camera with the water. I bring the backdrop which is taped to the wall, so you don't have to travel anywhere for this quick, relaxing and pleasantly challenging shoot. I also shoot outdoors if you are comfortable with full body environmental work.

3. Is makeup necessary, allowed? - Not really, these are intended to be raw, real and psychologically engaging, not a beauty shot - you can see my own self portraits paired with the ancient poetry that started this process at http://mindaswater.com/c/mind-as-water/tao-te-ching

4. Where will the photos be going? They will developed into a large scale gallery show that raises funds and awareness for water development in Africa. I have been working on this for about a year, and the first show will likely be near the end of 2011. There is no cash payment to be a part of this project, you will receive the 5-10 best shots for your private collection as payment.

5. Do I need to be topless? No, it may enhance your experience, but no 'parts' are shown to keep the imagery to a general public display standard for the gallery show and so a strapless suit, bra or duck tape will keep you covered if you prefer. The shoot is not about how you look, but about capturing the 'experience' in the purest form possible.
