Portraiture

This is a collection of images taken for this project that I still really like, but didn’t end up using for the final exhibit.

This set represents my final project for my digital photography class. Here was my artist statement: To “mainstream America” my friends and I are not exactly categorized as “normal.” Personally, I’ve always hated that word and honestly do not believe there is a true normal. I am excited to use this project as an opportunity to challenge the idea of what is. I have documented my wonderfully “abnormal” friends and family. I have played with the themes of body modification, queerness, and gender. To my beautifully abnormal friends and chosen family, you’re fuckin’ perfect.

A GQ inspired photoshoot.
Megan is one of my favorite models because she is creative, brings lots of ideas to any shoot, has fun, and loves being in front of the camera.
