The Lumen Icons

The Lumen Icons is a triptych of digital celestial jewelry looks.

Experimentation - First Pass

My creation process started with what I envisioned in my head, and how I was going to transmit that into a form that everyone could view, partake, and enjoy. I really love motion design, but I also really enjoy editorial photography. Thus, my thesis for merging the two mediums began to take shape.

I started by experimenting with a photograph of my model Kaisin that I took prior. I tried compositing assets that I designed in Cinema 4D with the photograph in Photoshop, but I wasn’t getting the results that I was looking for. I wanted to be able to have the shadows and objects be dynamic and procedural.

Evoke - Second Pass

With further development of my concept, I started to go full force with my design and start fleshing out two additional portraits, making my thesis into a triptych.

The Final Product

After many revisions and quite a few versions, this is what I ended up with!
