Shadowville is a photography and illustration mixed media project.
The series is about the viewer entering into a world of shadows, spending a day among its denizens, and returning home.
I am often confronted by things that terrify me. But just often I find that the things I'm scared of isn't as terrifying as I thought they'd be. Sometimes I even enjoy myself!
Therefore, the idea behind this project was to take something that's normally scary, and put a fun, positive spin on it.

First, I would shoot images from locations I would walk to in my city. For instance, this image is from the Metra stop near the University of Chicago

I then edit the images. The edits can range from touch ups to complete overhauls. For the train station image, I mirrored it, removed any text, changed the lighting, and altered the colors.

Before After

# data[].attributes.body
After editing, I transfer the photo to my phone (drawing device) and mess with the colors more. I then start to sketch over the image, editing the image even more to make sure it works with my idea.

After I finish the drawing, I do a final edit to intensify the colors and sharpen up the lines.
Then, BOOM. A finished image!
