Roots of Photography

I believe the root of photography is documentation. If that statement is true, you could say I’ve been documenting all my life. In high school my best friend Maddie and I would take my camera and her infinite closet of clothes and take pictures of each other. It was always a silly thing to do, but I decided to take it professional. When I did, I found that I wasn’t fulfilled with the creativity of capturing photos as I though it would. I felt that there was a sense of civic duty that journalism offered that fashion photography didn’t have. However, I still like to escape to my high school memories and create photos or as I would say, document, our time together. Maddie and I returned to her grandma’s housethis winter and did what we loved to do best. Create.

In this house I am really inspired by the wallpaper, so I decided to use that as the backdrop in most of the photos.
