For my photo series for the October issue of Chroma, I decided to base my series off of Mawu, a Caribbean goddess of the sun and moon. I ended up doing hours of visual research on how this was represented. What i found out was a lot of the imagery surrounding this goddess was heavily related to nature. I wanted to show that through the color pallete and tones.
As you can see the colors are very natural and plain. My subject also has very mundane expressions. I also wanted to keep with the Halloween theme of the series by messing with contrast and split toning by showing the stark and dark differences between the colors while also having a very hollow color grade. I made sure to choose a cloudy day as well to have sort of a blank canvas to work off of. model: Zvikomborero Masike 84 82
