This is my outdoor Arnold Newman inspired photoshoot. I chose to photograph my friend Ingrid in her garden as it is a place where she spends a lot of her time during the warmer months, sunbathing and having barbecues with her family and friends.

This image is inspired by Newmans ‘Igor Stravinsky’. I loved his placement in the image and wanted to emulate it. I believe the placement of having Ingrid small in the left hand corner could symbolise humans subordinate size compared to nature, or Meer size of the individual on earth.
I love the contrast in this image of her light skin, hair and clothing compared to the ominous darkness of the vegetation behind her.
