In the studio, I initially took about 300 photos. I narrowed them down to about 9 and edited each of them so I would have a bigger choice of photos to choose from for my finals.
using double exposure, I created the effect of two people being present.
Here, I used a pink filter of the one point light.
For the next three photos I increased the haze so that they would look somewhat surreal, almost dreamy.
Tableaux is used to describe a painting or photograph in which characters are arranged for picturesque or dramatic effect and appear absorbed and completely unaware of the existence of the viewer.
The term was first used in the eighteenth century by French philosopher Denis Diderot to describe paintings with this type of composition. Tableau paintings were natural and true to life, and had the effect of walling off the observer from the drama taking place, transfixing the viewer like never before.
It can be used to create surreal landscapes and visions, expressing or pursuing existing ideas, thoughts and situations,
Tableaux photography is staged, and the final outcome was made purposefully with an idea in mind.
