Lately I've been finding a lot of inspiration from photographers like Tamara Lichtenstein and Jamie Hopper who use beautiful layered effects on their photographs. I really have no idea how they do it—well, maybe a little—but I wanted to go ahead a try my hand at something similar.
The Hubble Space Telescope has been delivering incredible images from space since I was in kindergarten. It's been an immense source of inspiration for me over the years, and I thought it would mesh well with these photographs. I immediately remembered my favorite Hubble picture that I cut out of a National Geographic magazine years ago and eventually glued in my inspiration notebook next to a Zac Posen dress that looked like a living version of the Hubble shot—I remember that dress literally flowing like waves down the runway.
I'm sure these photos aren't great to a trained photographers eye—someone who actually knows how to do that technique— but I'm happy with the results. I hope to play around with Hubble a lot more before he closes up shop in 2014 when the bigger and better James Webb Space Telescope takes his place.
