Sam Taylor-Wood
Sam Taylor-Wood's work involves creating the illusion of floating figures, sometimes herself, creating a scene that suspends our disbelief. Her photos focus on figure floating on the figure, with a minimal environment surrounding them. The subjects are well lit and sometimes feature a small amount of props that aid the composition.
Sam Taylor-Woods's work has a mystical and airy quality to them, without going into the realm of kitsch. While seemingly minimal, their complexity is in the techniques she uses to create them. In a sense her work has a design like quality to them: She uses complex techniques to create a scene that is elegant and simple in nature.
