I'm gonna give all my secrets away!

Press Play!

This is my spin on the portrait project . In the description of this project on the website it says that the photographer should work to capture the subject's identity. I believe that a secret shows the identity of a person by revealing one of the most personal things about them. I asked some friends and some strangers to share some of their most personal feelings with me, and everyone else viewing these photographs. I think a secret says something more than the naked eye can see. It most definitely captures the subject's identity by showing the viewer what is going on internally. This collection of pictures is a reminder to me that everyone has a story, and everyone has gone through something that has changed them. It is also a reminder that you shouldn't judge people if you don't know them. We all are going through the same things and we all experience the same pains. I really got a lot out of this project. More than just mastering the skills on how to take the perfect portrait photograph. I was able to relate with some people I knew well and some people I knew hardly at all. This was a very humbling experience for me.

Everyone has a burden,
what counts is how you carry it.
