So Project IV is done, and it took a lot longer than I expected. My assignment was to explore the idea of secrets (as you can see, I put a lot of effort into thinking of an original name for this series…). Rather than base the entire series on a single secret, I decided I could have a lot more fun with this if I created separate images (completely unrelated to each other) to explore various secrets. My main reason being, I didn’t want to be tied down to a specific story.

As for the secrets behind each photo, there isn’t any definite answer. The photo of the girl throwing up for example could be bulimia or just a random drunken night. I didn’t want a completely obvious secret to be shown in each photo. I’m much more concerned with having each photo trigger some sort of sense of curiosity.

I just started working on Project IV. I can’t say its been a smooth experience though. I’ve been off to really rough start and I’m a little over a week behind my shooting schedule.

On another note, school is almost done! I have about 5 weeks left in the semester, in which time I plan to release Project IV (April 19) and Project V (mid-May). I’m looking forward to a sweet vacation and possibly a long term portrait series for the summer (more details on this later).
