This was a series I did for class based on the concept that photographs are only taken during happily posed moments and never during sadness and sorrow. These pictures are personal in several ways. They portray some of my own lower moments in life as well as what I would imagine most people do or feel when they are depressed. It's also personal because of how depression in the form of mental illness is prominent in my family.
This is the first roll of black and white film that I shot and developed myself. You can tell from all the dust and scratches I didn't keep very good care of them. I've had the negatives in my possession for about a year now and I just got around to scanning them in. I still think they're beautiful photos of my good friend Michelle Bartlett.
I've done a few collaborations with my good friend Michelle Bartlett. I did all of the hair and make-up for these shoots, and Michelle did all of the shooting and editing. She really is amazing-www.papersoulphoto.com
Backpacked around Santa Cruz last summer, so to speak. I only took out my nice camera on one day, and I wish I would have taken it out more. This place is epic.
