Photography

 

Photography is a passion of mine. I took both the introductory and the intermediate levels of photography offered while I was attending Indiana University. Here are some of my final images. The black and white images come from my introductory class and the color images are from my intermediate class.  For more of my recent portrait photography, visit my website Tea Light Designs.

The images labeled "Constructed Reality" are part of a project in which I was instructed to create scenes that were clearly constructed. From my understanding, the project was to create almost an alternate reality. For this project I had multiple ideas. My first Idea was to have a fairy or some sort of fae creature. The forest and fire pictures developed off of that. My next idea was to create a physical manifestation of depression in order to call attention to the struggles that many people with depression face. Another goal of this project was to call attention to it so that people will actually recognize that it is a real struggle and people with depression actually do have this thing interfering with what they are doing. The images labeled "Ashley's Depression" are an expansion on the idea that depression is a physical being.
