Photography

My professor just gave us an assignment called constructed realities. It really helped a lot of us break out of our habit of just shooting candid shots! We had to construct a scene for the camera that relates to community (it's our semester theme). I was actually struggling very much until I decided to focus on the route of lack of community I had growing up. So for my constructed images I took one photo of a Polaroid I manipulated of my mother and I where I drew a black figure across her, and another photo of my birth certificate being burned. I still have to take two more shots, but this assignment has helped me dig deeper and become extremely vulnerable within my photography for the first time ever!
