The goal of this assignment was to replicate a famous painting in real life. While searching for a painting, I came across John William’s Circe Invidiosa and realized I had a similar dress to the one Circe is wearing in the painting. I took SO many pictures trying to get the angles right since I was doing it by […]

I liked how open the prompts were but were still restrictive enough that I wasn’t at a loss on what to photograph. It really made me think of […]

Miyazaki films are some of my favorite movies, particularly Spirited Away. The film follows Chihiro and her journey trapped in a world of spirits.
