Ashanti Neverson - Weekly Artist Post 11

Ashly Stohl



1.) Photographer Ashly Stohl picked her son as the subject in these black and white photos. Her distance ranges from four feet to twelve feet. It appears she uses natural lighting with a little bit of manipulation. He os mostly centered in these photos in different positions. 

2.) In the first photo it almost looks like a mirrored image as the young boy mocks the posture of the older man across the barrier. In the second photo he is centered in what looks to be some type of catwalk/bridge but it reminded me of Darth Vader walking down the halls of the Death Star by his strong stance. In this last photo the light shapes out this weird shape that reminded me of a thought bubble or word cloud in comic books. 

3.) These photos showed me a boy trying to figure out his role in the world while finding his strength. His stance in the photos are very strong and stoic for his age which shows that no matter what age a person is we don't know what they have been through or what they are feeling. It's almost as if these photos show he has had to take on a lot and take on the role of someone older.
