Trophies, a photo series By photographer Chad Coombs, based in Saskatoon, Canada. Chad Coombs is a 30 year old photographer from Saskatoon, Canada. For his series Trophies, Coombs says he uses masks because they create anonymity. “It’s not a portrait of someone but a story being told with a fictional character,” Coombs says. “They are called trophies because they are busts just like when a person puts a deer bust on their wall that they have killed in a hunt. (They are) trophies of accomplishments.” As for the story behind the trophy, that’s for you to make up. “I don’t typically (write) artist statements because it can prevent someone from discovering something in a photo I didnt even mean or think. I think that’s the greatest thing about art. It evolves with every view it receives from someone new.” Coombs shot this series with Polaroid and painted the model’s body to blend in with the background. “I used a water base skin safe paint. I’ve used latex house paint before. I did a clown self portrait and painted my body from knees up completely white. I then spent three hours in a bathtub scrapping it off. I will never do that to someone else.”More about Chad Coombs and his work on: http://www.candela-project.com
