«I know exactly what’s going on in your head before your wedding, sis.»
Photographer www.nikaloran.com
My photography is about the feelings and thoughts of most brides before their first wedding: weight, dress, shoes, cake decoration, invitations, first wedding night, decorations, stress, and fuss. Everything except her husband and her own desires. To implement the idea, I used the following methods:photo composition (I placed shoes, cake decoration, invitation, and decorations on top of the bride’s veil), and also changed the places of some things: the bride’s garter was on her neck instead of her leg as a sign of a tight strap around her neck, and the crumpled top—as a sign of her broken soul, disfigured by the demands of society and the current pressure of preparing for the wedding.
I used my favorite Renaissance style, which illuminates the image of a person with all their feelings, weaknesses, and truths from the darkness. To create this style, I used one light source, a vintage smoky background, and a greenish tone in the shadows.
The composition of this image is built on triangles (skirt, arm placement, top and chest, light on face, envelope) and repeating elements (necklace, shoes, fingers).
