Photography

Zoos, streets & portraits

I

In the first set of photos I wanted to emulate the destructive and unnatural environment of zoos, showing these beautiful animals trapped in cages and behind bars. I wanted to highlight the texture and contrast of the wired fences and translucent glass to the animals that sit behind.

The second set showcases street photography, people in their natural environment, unposed. Some of these photos were taken in the library, others taken at a dive bar, tattoo shop, and museum.

The third set of photos showcases the portrait shots I have taken. The theme of these portraits is art and creativity. I wanted to highlight tattoos as a form of self expression and body art while also showcasing physical art forms.
