Photo Stories
I had the good fortune of studying abroad in Barcelona while I was in college. I studied urban design and advanced photography, which required two portfolios. For my first project, I selected 5 masters of photography and studied one master each week we were abroad. As I studied a photographer, I shot in their style and technique, hoping to learn new concepts. Below are pictures following the styles of Roy DeCarava, Sebastiao Salgado, Eugene Atget, Karl Blossfeldt, and Robert Doisneau.
My next project allowed me to study relationships and human interaction within the open air markets of Barcelona. During these shoots, I met the most amazing people who were very excited about my project and who wanted to interact with me to help develop my photo story. It was during these experiences that I got to see their personalities and the everyday interactions between them and the their customers.
