Bubble Blow
Nicole Caban is a sixteen-year-old girl (Born December 6th, 2005) studying digital media in A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts. She expresses herself through photography and film focusing on black and white images. The piece, "Bubble Blow" is a self-portrait with her photographing herself with a camera (Finepix xp 80) underwater, her blowing the water from above. The artist wanted to exaggerate the distortion of the face to create a message of struggling with the identity of herself. High contrast and definition of the photo were key to achieving the illusion.
