This is Shawn, I didn't know him before this assignment, and it was a little awkward asking a stranger to take a picture, but it was a really good experience for me. I am usually pretty awkward at making people comfortable in front of a camera, but i did better than I thought I would!
This is my roommate Allie. I wanted to explore a digital version of double exposure. At BYU, being naked is scarce. I don't mean naked only in the physical sense of the word. People tend to put on their best face and refuse to show their imperfections.
Someone I'm not--someone that wears a mask. To me, it seems that especially in the visual arts department, people try to put on a a persona that isn't really true to themselves. I have felt that every time i try and become something i'm not, it only pollutes my original, true, and genuine self. In a way this picture is a promise to myself that as i continue forward as a visual arts student, that i will stay true to my own instincts and creative processes.
these pictures are epic!
