This project involved creating a diptych with colour as the main component tying the two images together. Both photographs were taken with flash photography in a studio space; one photograph was a portrait and the other was abstract.
The diptych images capture the rebellion, nonconformity, and desire for independence of the punk movement. The neon green colour of the bass guitar in the abstract photograph emphasizes the growth and rebirth of the punk movement. The subject’s dramatic make-up, asymmetrical hairstyle, unique jacket, and facial expression convey a strong sense of individuality.
