Anachronism IV: Sasha: Fire Gypsy (part 5)
I am lumping these two images together because of the commonality in theme.
Circles are a powerful form and always draw the eye when viewing an image.
When photographing I tend to see in shapes and have trained myself to consciously strip down elements that are nonessential to a point when it becomes an unconscious habit in order to make a stronger a picture.
In practically all of my photographs I have one point of interest.
In these Anachronism photographs I focus on Sasha and the flames that surround her are an extension of the image content and the reason why I am photographing this event.
I have to imagine the flames creating a pleasing form (based on my experience and intuition concerning how light writes on film) in order to complement Sasha.
