In his photographs, Simen Johan explores darkly the human proclivity towards fantasy and our attempts, knowing or otherwise, to craft alternate realities for ourselves. Merging traditional photographic techniques with digital methods, Johan creates each of his images from as many as one hundred negatives, having first constructed or discovered each element and photographed it on film. Across his body of work, the viewer is urged to ponder the relationship between the real and the artificial or imagined.
I enjoy the images that this artist captures because he tends to play with a lot of light and colors that you wouldn't see in everyday life. However, these are settings that are possible to see in everyday life but he manages to make it more interesting to look at. A lot of the images that he had were taken at night and he utilizes the little but effective accents that the light is able to illuminate on his subjects.
