Photography Studio 1

  This series is very personal to me as I wanted to look at the connections of mental health between my father and I. I wanted to display the contrast between us too and the similarities so the viewer can understand how we are different but the same. The piece lends into self vaguely to performance art as seen in the photos are very deep conversation was being had about our main issues in life and how we should talk about them more.

Self Portrait in the bath with wet hair and soft lighting By: Kort Woycheshin I wanted to discuss this photo more in depth as I discovered something really amazing when editing it in Lightroom. I shot this photo in uncompressed raw with a file size at about 66mb in one photo which is honestly insane but so nice when editing.

Instantly when upping the red my pores became less pronounced and this gave a very classical Hollywood style beauty portrait look t...

  Bathtime Photographed: By Cody Robinson  This is the digital picture that we took prior to taking a picture with my film camera. The idea was to try and use the water as a barrier for sound, to show how men can scream and say everything about how they feel but it never gets passed that barrier. I think it's really impactful and vulnerable, and gives good insight onto how I feel about the topic.  This photo was very difficult to get as a hate being underwater and the feeling of water going into my nose is awful.
