The strongest
image from this session was unplanned, as Cheryl and I had
gone into the studio to work on a project of her instigation. One of
the images we produced was of Cheryl as an angel, wrapped in white, with
her moving her arms up and down over a 16 second exposure, to create an
ethereal quality to the image. To ensure we had the right effect, we
produced several 4x5 Polaroids, and when we had the exposure and motion
right, we then made the images on film.

It
was at this point that I asked her if she'd mind doing the same pose,
but nude. I've used angel imagery in my digital work in the past, and
thought the potential in the motion-blurred image was quite high. I
asked Cheryl to move her entire body during the exposure, in addition to
her arms, to further the feeling of otherworldlyness. The negatives was
then scanned and digitally altered, to produce the final image. I used
the photograph for a Millennium greeting card, commemorating the arrival
of the year 2000.
