I took these as part of my jelly experiments. I used an infinity screen and a simple directional light with a yellow lens gel; because yellow is complimentary to red.<\/div>\n

I’m thrilled with these images. They are visceral, emotive and paradoxical. The jelly encased hair looks disturbing and is reminiscent of anatomy, body parts and gore; even though the subjects shot are innocuous and, indeed, typically associated with beauty.
