Very nicely achieved. This slightly reminds me to the intro to the show Nip Tuck. Would be interesting to see you expand on this concept.

i really like the look of this photo.

i really do think all that effort was completely worth it.

The lengths people go to. The reflection at the bottom works so well. After struggling to cover the darkness for so long people become only a shadow of themselves.
Wonderful work.

ApocyrphalVeracity [2008-08-07 03:03:10 +0000 UTC]

I'd have to say this is my favorite of your photos. I have an intense fear of needles myself, and the topic it represents is one I've questioned for the longest times. What desperate lengths we go to to be inside the border of what we've labeled "acceptable".

Your work is.. deep. Provoked me to finally make a dA account to comment, haha. Keep it up.

LyingFigure [2008-08-03 23:03:41 +0000 UTC]

Wow! Is that really a photograph? How did you do the hand? The colours are a feast to the eyes because og the plain background. Perhaps you just showd us thah some people like the colours they see in drugs and thaat may be the reason for why they're doing so to themselves.

Where do you buy your needles? I just imagine you purchasing all these hypodermic needles and the clerk looking at you like a drug addict. Anyone ever ask you why you need so many needles?

such an effort on your part with this work ... must have taken a lot of patience.

Well worth the effort ... it's really inspiring to see the way you combine the artistic vision of a sculptor with the preciseness and light-loving ingenuity of a studio photog.

Just wondering, what are the hands you use made out of? They look like plastic, but it's gotta be hard to get those needles in there!
