In this Annunciation series I used imagery from a number of New Zealand photographers and imagery from some Renaissance painters. I'd read a really interesting piece in which the writer discussed how the painters in the time of the Renaissance were in essence the first photographers, in terms of the photographic look of their imagery, due to their use of the camera obscura.
The latin term camera obscura in English means dark chamber.
The main New Zealand photographer's work used in this image is the early work of the New Zealand master Peter Peryer.
