"Songs For You, Truths For Me"
A little boy is crouched in the creek and covered in mud staring intensely into the camera.
A man stands on the side of the road with holding his possessions and with his thumb out in an attempt to hitchhike
A couple is backlit and standing in the doorway hugging one another
A woman sits with her back to the viewer among browned stalks of grass looking up toward the sky
A disheveled woman in a button down shirt sits in a closet amongst a pile of clothes with a stuffed animal and a knife in her hands.
A man lays on a couch in a dark messy apartment illuminated by the light from his laptop
A couple cuddles on the couch with one staring off and the other looking directly at the viewer
A woman stares at her friend with longing
A woman lays under her bed staring off in the distance
A woman sits in an empty lockerroom with her head in her hands staring at the viewer

"And I wonder how long it will take them to see my bed is made..."

"The man was such a sleaze, he ain't never gonna be the same..."

"I just wanna feel today, feel today, feel today, I just wanna feel something today..."

"Why are we strangers when our love is strong..."

"I'm searchin' for a way to become the person that I dreamt up when I was sixteen..."

"So I just put my arms around you and I hope that I will do no wrong..."

"I haven't moved from this spot where you left me..."

"Take these broken wings and learn

to fly..."

"I'm leavin' today, livin' it, leavin' it to change..."

"One of these days you're gonna

love me..."

Digital Photography Series

An autobiographical series, "Songs For You, Truths For Me" is inspired by real life events seen through the eyes of a film lens. Each photo marks a time in my life and captures the predominant feeling at that time: rebelliousness, anger, longing, love, heartache, hope. The song lyrics used to caption each photo also serve as a time capsule for each period, either being from the same era the photo is depicting or something listened to during the time this series began.

Project behind the scenes:

This project is an autobiographical series capturing snapshots of impactful moments throughout my life. I used lyrics from songs that were in rotation at that point in my life as inspiration for the images. I used a cinematic approach when setting up the shots to really draw the viewer in and help convey the feeling I was striving for.
