"Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be." - Duane Michals


Literally the day before i had to leave to go home, instead of packing, me, Dee, and Morgan decided to do a more artsy photoshoot rather then pack. I've been wanting to experiment more with emotions. A shoot i've really wanted to do was focusing on heartbreak, a bad breakup where the individual was so crumbled they couldn't leave their house. Inspired by the song "T-shirt" by Shontelle, I made both individuals be in nothing but t-shirts, which were supposed to represent one of their ex's. Sitting in a pile of laundry because no matter what they tried on nothing was good enough, and looking alone and in despair to show their heartache. I was excited to experiment with a new type of photography and i was glad that i was able to end the semester doing something more artistic but also something that represented how i had felt the entire semester. Alone, heartbroken, and emotionally unavailable/numb. It was a very therapeutic shoot for all, and i was glad this was how i ended my semester.
