Heavy is the Head That Wears the Crown

One of my photographic goals for 2016 is to delve into the characters I’m portraying in my conceptual art and really tell their story. This week’s photo represents the same crowned girl from last week’s image and that was intentional. I have never tried my hand at writing but I am starting to view my conceptual photography as a visual storybook. In my mind, the girl portrayed in my last two photos is mysteriously burdened and isolated by the crown that she wears. I don’t know what the rest of her story holds but I’m excited to find out and share it all with you!

(3/52) The Crown of Winter | Fine Art Photo

Week 3 was a difficult one for me. I had a number of concepts that I was excited to photograph and I burned through them all in one afternoon. Unfortunately, none turned out the way my mind had visualized so I ended up scrapping them all. This was about the time that the East coast was experiencing heavy snowfall and my little mountain home got buried for four days. Talk about cabin fever. So, on a Sunday afternoon (the day of the week I’m supposed to post a new image for my year-long photography challenge) I marched outside wearing a dress and a foil crown with the intention to make some magic.

The concept itself is not one that I planned in detail which is unusual for me, however, I was happy with the result. My image for Week 4 portrays the same crowned character you see here.
