Cornflakes!
This photograph marks a key turning point in my photography! I have now realised that I was simply trying to hard. I was striving for perfection, not creativity. Vogue, not fun shot. So from now on, I think you’ll see a whole new side of me!
I’m not sure where the idea came from. I was just kinda wondering what it would be like to drown in cornflakes…
I had much fun doing this & discovered a) its possible to inhale cornflakes. And kind of painful… b) Putting a whole box of cornflakes in your bed makes for uncomfortable sleeping, even when you THINK you’ve got rid of every last crumb…
Self portrait under constant studio lighting. Camera handheld at a funny angle… :)
