Blog Prompt 22

I think the process of incorporating CGI into photography is very exciting in that anything you could possibly dream up can be constructed. With straight photography, you are limited to what you can find or construct in terms of scenes or backdrops. Using CGI allows a photographer to transcend the physical world and create surreal or, in the case of the video, somewhat chilling settings. I think the darker subject matter of the CGI/photo pieces was intriguing and the idea of collecting or constructing these perfect women was extremely unsettling. For me, this is a successful idea because seeing the photos force a reaction. With the sets I have been constructing, I think it would be fantastic to have the capability to work with this technology and not be limited to the areas around my home.
