Photographic based digital montage, 2007 (no 2 from series of 3 re-worked). Shot two seperate models & P/S combined them. I also draw in & enhanced part of the headpeice, the body, the dress, added a fringe to the face, hid the eyes, made the features more angular, blew up the lips, created cheekbones, reworked the branches, filtered wallpaper effects, extended the chandelier, added lacework/flower elements, desaturated the lot & added a sepia tone. Approximately 50 Photoshop layers.
This is the unframed version without a quote attached. There have been requests for this version. Captive “The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Who is you’re hero? / / Name: Panthera tigris sumatrae (Sumatran Tiger) Description: The Sumatran tiger has the darkest coat of all tigers. Its broad, black stripes are closely spaced and often doubled. Unlike the Siberian tiger, it has striped forelegs. Sumatran tigers are the smallest tiger subspecies. Males average 2.4 meters (8 feet) in length from head to tail and weigh about 120 kilograms (264 pounds). Females measure approximately 2.2 meters (7 feet) in length and weigh about 90 kilograms (198 pounds). Distribution: The Sumatran tiger is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in habitat that ranges from lowland forest to submontain and montain forest with some peat-moss forest. Biology: The Sumatran tiger eats wild pig, big deer (called rusa), and small deer (called muntjak or barking deer). The specific range size of this tiger is not know, however the population density is approximately 4–5 adult tigers/100 km 2 (39 mile 2) in optimal lowland rainforest. As elevation increases through submontain and montain forests, the number of tigers in any given area decreases because there is less prey available. Status in the wild: 400-500 wild Sumatran tigers were believed to exist in 1998, primarily in the island’s national park areas, but no island-wide census or monitoring system has been possible. Tiger numbers have continued to decline because of poaching of tigers to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts. The last remnants of lowland forest are being eliminated to establish oil palm plantations and for shifting agriculture by recent settlers from other areas of Sumatra and Indonesia. Ongoing road development makes many formerly inaccessible mountain areas accessible to illegal logging even on the steepest slopes, and many mountainous areas are being converted into plantations for coffee and other products for international markets. Tigers are legally protected but are not highly valued. Captive breeding: For three years, the Indonesian Zoological Parks’ Association (PKBSI) has been working with the Tiger Global Conservation Strategy to develop a conservation program for Sumatran tigers. In addition to the 65 Sumatran tigers living in Indonesian zoos, there are 55 tigers managed by North American zoos, 100 in European zoos, and 12 in Australasian zoos. This captive population is descended from 37 wild-caught founders. The Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Masterplan now has the potential to function as the heart of the Sumatran tiger population worldwide. It is designed to preserve sufficient genetic diversity to reinforce both captive and wild populations, thus fulfilling its goal to ensure that the in situ tiger program comprises verifiable founders permanently identified and registered in the Indonesian Sumatran Tiger Studbook. It also extends the capabilities of Indonesian zoo staff to professionally manage their tiger programs in Indonesia, and at the same time serves as a model for other range country tiger management programs in Southeast Asia.
P/S Retouched by Ange in collaboration with Ingrid Sjodahl. Digital photograph shot by Greg Parsons in collaboration with Ingrid Sjodahl, 2007. Models: Liz, Greg Parsons. I retouched face, hair & recreated arched eyebrows for further definition; left eye was ‘opened’ up to match right eye (in the original shot she appears half asleep). Ingrid added b/w desaturated tone, painted lips, corset bodice lace & sheet in red tone. Original shot below.

For me, boxing is a reflection on how we handle ourselves in everyday life. A fighter can only advance by scoring points if he has faith in himself. At any point when a boxer attacks he leaves himself open to a counter-attack. He can stand with a rock solid defense and be safe or he can attack and risk an opening for a counter attack. / As in the ring, we must have faith, take a risk, trust our training/instinct and believe in ourselves. /

Ever wished that you’d do something so monumental with your life that someone might someday make a movie about you? No I’m not like that, I like the irony of doing everyday things in a Tee-shirt that has some well dressed chap asserting to the world that this movie will get made. I know the white clip on piece at the bottom is supposed to be the date but for two reasons I swapped it with where the Director’s name usually goes. 1. From a communication point of view I wanted “A movie about me” and “Someday” next to each other. 2. I wanted a white space where the wearer could write their favourite Director’s name in permanent marker. Hell I wasn’t gonna decide who Directed all your movies, / Mattman
(I used myself as the model. I set my camera on the top of the shower and put the timer on) What do you see here? / A girl in her prom dress, crying in the shower, with her last words of wisdom to the world. The message behind the photo is the stress and struggle to thin and beautiful and the pressure that American culture has on her people. The tears shed from being “fat” in high school and being ridiculed for being a size 9 from so many of my class mates was the inspiration. I’m not fat. I have curves. I am a REAL woman, not a 5’9” 120 lb. size 3 barbie. And if you’re not that, you begin to get made fun of, taunted, teased, and told “go kill yourself, fat ass” when youre minding your own buisness walking down the hallway with your boyfriend. With the media today, the barbie-like girl is what’s beautiful in america, and to get somewhere with your life, yo have to be beautiful, and you can’t be full figured and beautiful. I can proudly say that I am 5’5”, 155 lbs. and a size 9 (or 11 sometimes). I am no longer ashamed, and the tears shed are dried and gone. my advice to girls entering high school, or middle school, is what’s written. Nothing more. Nothing less.

There’s something about a wren that’s sassy and saucy. This perky little songbird’s got a loud mouth, a brisk, brash way about it, and tons of attitude. Tail up in the air, it seems to be saying, “I may be small, but nobody’s gonna step on me!”
