A couple years ago I took a really great class in color photography at SFAI. The teacher was a guy named Tim Sullivan (Tim Sullivan Art). Well, about this time, I rented this movie entitled "Five Obstructions" which is a film about Lars Von Trier challenging Jorgen Leth (a dutch film legend) to remake his classic 12 minute short several times under different constraints. The short was entitled "The Perfect Human". As a result of seeing this film I created some photos which the instructors girlfriend commented had a color palette similar to Reneke Dijstra's (Reneke Dijkstra). You can see these photos on my site here: Just a Cog in tghe Machine). I had to investigate her work. She create these amazing portraits of teenagers on the beach in various parts of the world. Anyways, I loved the low camera angle of her beach portraits and thought I'd emulate her work a little bit. These are some of those photos.
