End of the World

End of the World

Modeled after the (award winning) photograph of the same name by Dorothy Leland, this portrait was more a study of how to create depth and detail on a grainy surface – do I use the grains or ignore them? (Some of each, it turns out). After Dorothy won an award for the photograph named “End of the World”, the community where this was taken was completely leveled in the 7.5 Thai Earthquake of 2018, making the title overwhelmingly eerie. Who knows if this spot exists today?
