"Our skin is what stands between us and the world." 
A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman p.70




8.5x6.5in Shot on DSLR. Edited in Adobe Lightroom 

This photo series was shot on a DSLR camera. I shot indoors with the use of natural warm lighting. I had my model lay on the couch in front of the bright window. I wanted to capture the lighthearted moments we experience in our homes. Our homes are what protects us and our belongings from the outside world, much like our skin protects what is inside our body.



                                               
                We call our emotions feelings, and we care most deeply when something "touches" us."

5x8.5in Shot on DSLR. Edited in Lightroom

This photo series was shot on a DSLR camera. I shot outdoors and placed a large mirror flat on the floor. I had my model sit next to the mirror so I could capture her reflection. My concept for these photos was to show how you can touch someone emotionally but not physically. The reflection represents the memory you leave behind in someone's mind long after you are gone.

Wrapped Human Body

-
Image
       My model Anna, wrapped in floral fabrics and placed in front of a garden area. I wanted to represent the beauty of nature. I chose a neutral pose because I did not necessarily want the body to be visible, or seem tense. I chose the fabric to be placed lightly on top of the body. I wanted the photo to show freeness in the beauty of nature. These photos were shot on a DSLR camera and edited in Abobe Lightroom.

Dinner & A Movie FINAL

-

         Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind     I chose to use the movie The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as inspiration for the dinner setting.  I used a clock at a "plate" to represent the major plot in the movie which is memory. The placemat is cut denim covered in writing. I made this decision to represent youthfulness. On top of the plate is a serving of spaghetti messily placed on top of the clock, and to the left is a spilled bottle of wine with broken hearts coming out. In this project, I wanted to show the overall theme of youthfulness and memory. The photo was shot on a DSLR camera and edited in Adobe Lightroom.
