EDITORS COMMENTS
Petri Damstén's 'Waiting for the Coffin' is a hauntingly beautiful self-portrait that explores themes of loneliness, fragility, and melancholia. Taken in his home studio in Kuopio, Finland, this image was captured using a Nikon D850 and a combination of Nikkor and Sigma lenses, with a 24mm f2 and 35mm f1 used for this particular shot. The use of lighting adds an eerie, otherworldly quality to the scene, with the dark background and the solitary figure of the artist, dressed in a mask and holding a rose, waiting by an open coffin. The cell-like environment further emphasizes the sense of confinement and isolation. This surreal image undergoes digital manipulation and fine art processing in Photoshop, enhancing the macabre and dreamlike atmosphere. The artist's intentional use of props, such as the coffin and the rose, adds layers of meaning and interpretation, inviting the viewer to ponder the human condition and the fragility of life. The image is a poignant reflection on the human experience, evoking feelings of sadness and introspection. Damstén's 'Waiting for the Coffin' is a stunning example of the power of photography to transport us to another world and provoke deep thought and emotion. This image is part of Damstén's larger body of work, which explores the human condition and the complexities of the human psyche through the medium of photography.
