The Vigil

The Vigil is a project that explores the naked form with the aim of investigating what a nude is and what it can communicate. My approach included dramatised lighting to encourage heavy
contrast and create a moody atmosphere.
I used hair as a prop to help build a unified visual language and orchestrated the poses around how the hair interacted with the body. This series is titled "The Vigil", referencing a period of wakefulness during the dark hours, usually reserved for sleep.
I wanted these photos to serve as a representation of a solitary moment, isolated and introspective.
