Conceptual Series 1

The idea of my photo series is to show how when you are a swimmer, the sport is always on your mind. Swimming is a very stressful and time consuming sport, it can often seem like even when you are not in the water, you are still thinking about it. Often even after practice it is hard to stop thinking about the next competition or practice or workout, as is the case with many sports. So I wanted my series to be able to show how the stress of swimming affects me and many other

The photos I took show my concept, which is that swimming is always on your mind, I photographed it by taking humorous pictures of a swimmer doing everyday things, but with a swim suit, cap, and goggles on. These pictures show people metaphorically how even when swimmers are not in the pool, that swimming is still on their mind and that they are still thinking about swimming. An example is that in one of my photos it shows the swimmer doing homework, but she has all of her swimming equipment on too, which shows that even when she is doing homework, she is not completely focused on it, and that she is constantly focused on swimming. All of the photos in my series show the different parts of people's everyday life, but how when a person is a swimmer, or an athlete in general, their sport is still being thought about. I used eating, driving, sleeping, and cleaning, as examples that also show how the idea of a person doing everyday things just in a swimsuit.athletes.
