About this Work
This project is meant to convey different human emotions and make the viewer reflect on their own experiences and feelings. I chose to capture different human emotions through portraits to explore the depth and universality of our feelings. Each session became a journey, delving into my subjects' personal stories and revealing genuine expressions of wonder, contemplation, fear, curiosity, relaxation and embarrassment. This project allowed me to hone my technical skills while telling stories that celebrate the beauty and complexity of our emotions.
