Sam Taylor-Wood Self-Portrait



This picture is another that has be questioning how it was accomplished.  The photographer has positioned herself seemingly hanging in the air without any visible support.  I love the form that she puts herself in for this picture.  The lightly stretched leg and slightly bent one combined with her hanging arms provide a sense of calm and serenity to a picture that is seems as if it is a flash in a moment of action.  Also her bent back with her raised chest makes it seem as though she is floating up rather than falling down.

I love how she positioned herself with the window as her backdrop and the contemporary white washed walls and wooden flooring is a great combination.  Again, this is a picture that you have to look at because it makes the viewer think.
