This shoot is my proudest work. It took a week to get the final photo. The prompt was simply to photograph your own self portrait. I made my portrait tell a story of balance; the importance of such in my life and the difficulty to attain that. The portrait conveys the five main elements of my life which I prioritize and balance with one another; fashion design, work, running, relationships, and of course photography. I am running in the photograph in an elaborate outfit while simultaneously working on my computer. On my computer screen is a reogram of holding hands to represent the relationships portion of the photograph. The concept of the photograph was to capture me levitating in air. An impossible reality as it oftentimes feels impossible to balance everything. I made sure to bring many tripods and lights to this shoot so no one would get in the background as I was shooting at the Louvre in Paris.
