Am I Talking To Myself?

My Inspiration:
My inspiration was the struggle of trying to keep your composure when your grades are struggling. I had my model go around and pose as if she was looking for something, to me, this represents searching for ways to try and do your best when you know you’re not doing well. I know lots of people who deal with stress in different ways which leaves you to choose whether you rise up to the occasion, or crumble under the pressure.

Shoot Like Aaron Siskind

Aaron’s work is mainly black and white and it contains photos where you have to take a second look to understand what you’re looking at. He uses angles and filters to create composition. I like his style of photography because it’s simple and creative at the same time.
