During the Restart The Art exhibition a couple of weeks ago, I got to chat with the lovely Fiona Hepher, who’s a part of The Sameness Project team (if you guys are interested in seeing pictures from the exhibition, check out my Facebook page). I decided to ask her if she’d be interested in modeling…
Sometimes it feels like there are two sides of us, constantly at war. One wants to be saved and is fighting for freedom and release, and one wants to stay down, and drag everything with it. Because it’s easy, because it’s safe, because the pain is familiar. Because it’s constant. That dark, self-deprecating, self-loathing side…
Two weeks ago, the theme for the 52 Week Project was opposites. I wasn’t planning on taking a break from the project but you know, life happens. I was also kinda stuck because I couldn’t think of a specific idea. One thing that was on my mind was Sia’s Elastic Heart music video (which is…
The past week’s been hectic – from working constantly on my submission for the Restart The Art project to spending time with family, I haven’t had a chance to shoot anything. I haven’t taken any pictures in exactly ten days and I miss it so much. My mother just got out of surgery a few…
I know, I know – I’m late again. I’ve been working on a bunch of different things all at once and I couldn’t work on the image for the 52 week project as much as I wanted to. A while back I started feeling like I was relying on the project to make new pictures…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was window light. I had this super cool idea, well it was super cool in my head, with a huge window and a silhouette and light rays and dust aaaand I couldn’t do it haha. I did a test and it just didn’t work, and after discussing…
I am SO excited to show you guys what I’ve been working on! I’ve always wanted to do a behind the scenes video/behind the scenes pictures, but I never get to because it’s almost always just me shooting. Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was fairytales. And I instantly knew that I wanted…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was long exposure. And as much as I wanted to cheat and pick another theme, I didn’t. I wasn’t sure I could do it, especially because I tried it before and couldn’t do it. I realized that I failed the first time because my ND filter wasn’t…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was cemetery. I was really excited to do it but then I realized that I can’t actually visit a cemetery and even if I did, there are no headstones in our cemeteries. So I thought I’d just do something in our backyard, and I saw some small…
Last week’s theme was supernatural, and I was so excited to do something a little darker or creepier than usual. I’m a huge fan of the show, Supernatural, and, call me weird but I love the scenes with all the demons and possessions. Surprisingly though, I’m a chicken when it comes to horror movies and…
