Sam Taylor Wood's 'Bram Stoker's Chair' - revisited / by Claudia Phares

Sam Taylor Wood 

Fake it ‘til you make it - project 4: Sam Taylor-Wood

I was interested in taking up the challenge of creating a ‘suspended’ effect, minus the harnesses. Getting a nice shadow was pretty difficult to start with. Let’s just say I spent more time editing than shooting.

5 elements used:

  1. colour
  2. self-portraiture
  3. hidden face
  4. shadow of the chair is ‘missing’
  5. mid-air effect
