Emulation images (my first attempt)

This is my first emulation image preseting my own interpretation of Wendy McMurdo's 'Young Musicians' project. My aim was to prhotograph the subject playing invisible imagined keyboard. Throughout the face expression and a pose of a model I wanted to show her gaze and concetration which is a key-aspect in McMurdo's work.











Here I wanted to emulate a 'in a shaded place' series where Wendy McMurdo digitally duobled the subject so that they become twins. I took two images of my my sister sitting at the front of the mirror. First one I used as a reflection in the mirror evoking a 'twin' with a finger. Second image I used as a main subject sitting and gazing at someon on other side of a mirror.










Just like in the first image I wanted to show a young musician concetrated just on her invisible instreument who seem to be slightly out of this world.













*I cropped all my images to square format to make them look like a medium format photographs.
