Week 7 and 8

Happy Sunday! 💜💜💜 

This weekend, I had the greatest honor of starting my photo series. It’s called the Pigment Series. If you’re not familiar with this series, here’s a little description about it.

 

January 27th, 2017, I started a photo series in Charleston, SC called the Pigment Series (Pigments). The Pigment Series is a collection of mix media artwork that consists of semi nude photography and body painting. For over a year, I photographed over 50 people. Each portrait captured the true essence of a person and their existence. It promoted self-love, body positivity and individuality.

It also created an atmosphere for my artistic subjects to release their creative essence. When creating a safe space, love, appreciation and understanding should be the foundation of the structure.

This past February, I had the opportunity to talk about my project at Tedx Allendale. https://youtu.be/VSNFxwRD1BU

I’m going to need more volunteers and participants to help me reach my goal of 200. I will be posting dates for the month of October in my next blog post.
