Rand Babcock・artist’s portfolio
Rand Babcock is a Seattle-based fine artist who works in a variety of medias. He needed a portfolio of his work captured in both photo and video. This shoot specifically showcases one series of multi-media sculptures. I captured both photo stills as well as video in order to showcase the three dimensional beauty of his art through lighting and movement. The inspiration for the dark backdrop and bold moving light was to create a feeling of discovery and exploration that Rand’s work provokes in his viewers. It has an otherworldly feeling that mixes unique rocks and gemstones with curious materials like skulls and charred wood. You simply need to explore and only want to know where these came from and why they came to be as you experience his work. This shoot connects people who may not have the opportunity to view Rand’s work in real life, but can still feel the impact thorough these images.
