Artist Statement
For my sustained investigation project, I am going to show the love between two young teens. This couple could be of a same sex or different sex, I just want to really want to show the two teen’s connection to one another. With this project, I am going to be stepping out of my comfort zone and will be shooting not only portraits of the two young lovers, but the area surrounding the two people. This project will be contradicting the old sayings of “young love will phase out” or “you’ll meet someone you will truly love when you’re older.” With these phases in mind, I will not only shoot my same two models, but I will use an older model couple to show the young lovers growing up together. This will be accomplished by shooting only the hands of the older couple to show age. This project will be shot on film, and I would still like to entertain the idea of colored film!
