To Sir, With Love by Katie Watson

Untitled by Katie Watson
These images by Katie Watson have a nostalgic feeling, from the fading colors to the subject matter. Katie likes to leave images to tell the viewer what it means, with no BS about conceptualizing the idea. From her statement:
I love surreal images, bold colors, as well as stark images lacking color. It interests me to see images juxtaposed, too. In my photos, I use the figure a lot, and I love seeing other artists' unique take on the conventional subject. On the whole, I feel that art needn't always adhere to long-winded explanations, which are usually difficult to grasp. I don't like to focus on conceptualizing, and looking for symbols where they don't exist. Somtimes meaning behind art is necessary, but I like things simple, with a bit of mystery.
