Silent Dare is a self-portrait created by photographic artist, Jaeda DeWalt, and is a part of the DeWalt Gallery collection.

Why this image was created
I wanted to challenge myself in the self-portrait arena. I thought it would be a great challenge to see if i could, convincingly, create a picture of me, touching me. The end result . . . sensual weirdness and a bit of auto-erotic splendor wink.

How this image was created
I shot 2 self-portraits in my studio and scaled one self-portrait to be a little taller than the other, for a more realistic effect. I used the reflection off of a stainless steel elevator for the background and added in a few clouds around the feet. I then merged everything together in Adobe Photoshop.

About this Image
I wanted this image to have an emerging from a dream and timeless kind of visual aesthetic. I am also a huge fan of Helmut Newton and find myself drawn toward creating images that are dynamic and sexually charged YET detached at the same time . . . hence the vacant stares and mannequin-ish skin. Interacting yet not interacting . . . i love visual and emotional conflict/contradiction/paradoxes.
