Test 1

Artist: Kylan Wang
Writer: Nathan Turnbeaugh
Editor: Michelle Lo

Inspired by abstract and surreal photography from the likes of Instagram user @ican1ii, Kylan Wang, a sophomore at Carlmont High School, pieced together a vivid and aggressive visage in his piece, Test 1. Emphasizing non-conformity, Wang refused to describe the piece. He stated, “I’m not going to tell you how to interpret my art.” 

Utilizing his years worth of experience in photography, Wang spent hours tackling the complexities of shooting this piece. After mulling over his choice of lens, angle, and setting in addition to making post-processing changes, Wang finally found himself somewhat satisfied with the result. However, this is far from the end of his romance with abstract photography.
