The Idea for “L'artiste à Deux Têtes”
The idea for l'artiste à deux têtes photos came to me while viewing the photos from the “Inside Out” photoshoot. For this “Awakening The Energy” photos, I was trapped inside my own bubble and trying to recharge myself as much as possible as to “break through” the impermeable shell. Because of the material I was using as a shell and the marked and distinct shadows this creating with the lighting, the photos reminded me images from Cocteau’s movies. After going through these photos, I decided I wanted to explore further the idea - this time on purpose - and, do a series of Cocteau-like portraits of myself to go with these photos.

I will be sharing, with those interested, some of the Cocteau-like shots from “Inside Out” and future shoots on the subject in The Bare Canvas - a private virtual viewing room.
