The photo above is one of Robert and Shana Parkeharrisons photos! If you want you can check out some more of their work on their website!
So, for my artist/artists I chose Robert and Shana Parkeharrison because visiually they really drew me in. However, after I looked closer at their photos, I realized that there was much more to them, especially the set Architech's Brother, which is the set I focused on for this project. To start with Robert is the model in every photo, and in every photo in that set he wears a shabby old suit. I later found out that he wore that suit to represent the average man, and to kind of represent his failure so that it's even more relatable. Thats why it wsasn't the nicest suit ever, to represent that failure. So with what I wore I tried to represent the average american woman. Also, all of their photos in that set are really closely related to man's relationship with the enviroment, and how we abuse it. I think the photo of theirs I posted of was a strong example of that in how the man is using his man made lightening machine to create destructive lightning! In my interpretation I'm walking off into the forest with a wire cutter, ready to cut down little tree's and plants! I actually have a little pile I did cut down by my feet, but I know it's kind of difficult to see! I felt bad destroying plants, even if it was in the name of photography! Also, some of the Parkeharrison's photos cue in more on how it's not just us destroying the enviroment but us and our technology, which is why picked a wire cutter instead of some tree cutter thing!
