Brooke Shaden

I've taken a big liking to Brooke Shaden. So i personally wanted to do some research on her. Brooke began creating self-portraits for ease and to have full control over the images, and has since grown into a self-portrait artist. Self portraiture for her is not autobiographical in nature. Instead, she attempts to place herself within worlds she wishes we could live in, where secrets float out in the open, where the impossible becomes possible. Brooke works to create new worlds within her photographic frame. By using painterly techniques as well as the square format, traditional photographic properties are replaced by otherworldly elements. Brooke's photography questions the definition of what it means to be alive. This is taken from her website

I find her work pulls you in, i love the feel some of her picture give off. She creates a world that you could only dream of. Not much more to say really, i feel i still need to develop an understanding of her work. Go check her out though!
