Alana Celii uses color and lighting to create visual interest in seemingly uninteresting, everyday, or common objects. Her portrait subjects (if the face is shown at all) are typically stern or serious looking. The objects she captures are typically simplistic or minimalistic- allowing their shape or the color of the environment to give it the visual appeal.
She has an ability to make pictures that provoke thought and emotion and allow the viewer to create a sort of story or dialogue coinciding with the image. This allows me to connect with a room or an object that otherwise would have no significance to me at all. Her portraits shy away from the standard smiles and poses and instead capture the simplicity of being and incorporation of the environment into everyday life.
