29. » Concept: the idea of make-up as a mask and
as a part of one’s identity
» Original arrangement:
˃Posted from left to right
+ Most comfortable without make up on to
least comfortable
˃Each individual has one 11x17 image next to two
5.5x8.5 images of selves
˃Hand written statements
30. » Do you wear make-up everyday?
» Is there a distinct way you apply your make-up?
» Do you allow people to see you without make-up
on? Why or why not?
» Was the non make-up portion of this shoot difficult
for you? If so, why?
» Are there any external sources that contribute to
how often you do your make-up and why you do it
a certain way?
» Do you feel more confident with more make-up on?
34. » As I’ve grown older, I’ve become more aware
of the issues that affect not only myself but
people I care about and my community
» Response: to fight alongside them, to
document the struggles and the victories
» I expect to go beyond my comfort zone of
photography; to experiment with a new
medium but still maintain the themes I’ve
been working with
