CUT TO [conflict]
A preview of our next cover image and the talented photographer behind it

Thursday 12th March 2015

We received some fantastic conflict-inspired images in the last few weeks from Southampton Solent University photography, media and film students. However, one image stood out to us from the outset for encapsulating conflict not just in a single way, but three ways. We are excited to share the stunningly composed image with you and to introduce the talented photographer behind it: BA (Hons) Fashion Photography student Merle Praakli.

Introducing Merle Praakli
I have been studying photography for the past four years now. I started with a basic course about analog photography in Denmark, before enrolling on the BA (Hons) Fashion Photography degree at Southampton Solent University in 2012. I also had an Erasmus exchange year in Portugal during the second year of my degree. I very much enjoy taking on challenges both technically and regarding the story that I want to tell in my images. I set out to explore my creativity and educate myself in different aspects that are linked to photography.

Describe your work in three words
Adventurous, emotional and a little quirky.

Tell us about your conflict-inspired image
The idea for the conflict image was to show the emotional dilemmas we have when passionately interacting with other people, but also within ourselves, within our personal selves. The conflict between two people in any kind of relationship arises when personalities clash. The same principal follows us around every day meaning our mind and soul often work against one another. Creating this theatrical idea was creatively challenging as it was photographed as one shot, using simply low exposure.

Where can we see more of your work?
My work can be viewed at www.merlepraakli.com. I also have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/merlepraakliphotography
