‘CONSUME_ME’ by ZEV_W
PRIMARY - 24 FEB 2017
"When I first planned the shoot and started throwing ideas around I was so excited! At first the weather was far too hot, I couldn't stop sweating long enough to take a photo! So I waited a day. Turns out the heat wave continued, so I carried on. It's been a while since I photographed myself naked and it didn't come as naturally as I remembered. I felt awkward and shy! I was on edge like a skittish mouse when I though my housemates might come out in the yard and see me. But then something strange happened. I loosened up and started to have more fun with it, oblivious to who might see. Trying out different angles and to be creative and artistic in my composition, indeed relishing in the images I was creating. I was getting bitten by bugs and had dirt stuck to my skin but I didn't care. Even when mosquitoes bit me I just felt more alive! I even started just walking around naked in front of my housemates, they were half naked anyway from the heat. I got creative and wrapped a vine around my body. The ground seemed to merge with the vine making it look like the earth was trying to consume me! I cant wait to share what I have created with people. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to creating more in future!"
