"I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul." - Mary Ellen Mark


After my show was finished at the end of the semester, i really didn't have any other specific shoots i wanted to do. So for fun, i took some photos of my friends in the studio. I also did a few self portraits with the help of Salina Polanco for my self portrait series/just to force myself to continue getting used to being in front of the camera.

Vanity Fair - Cast Movie Style
There was a cocktail going on and some friends of mine were going. They looked fantastic and we thought we'd do some fun girlfriend portraits before they went out... however then our 3 guy friends showed up and it turned into a Vanity Fair like shoot when that magazine takes movie casts photos. It was a good time and good practice for me to work with big groups of people.
