Wrong Turn

This album tells a story about a wrong turn, a lost girl, and a ghost town. This collection is meant to capture a quiet and eerie nature of a forgotten town. When we went to take these photos, I was super excited about the weather conditions. However, I found to way to use this as my strength when crafting the narrative and how I would choose to shoot these photos. While the gloomy weather would be subpar for capturing a magic fairytale land, it was perfect for capturing a ghost town. The entire exercise was fun and I have begun seeing the world through a different lens. I’ve started to look at objects as props and have found myself crawling on wet ground more often than I’d care for. Every piece of garbage, rusted pipe, or cracked stone has a story, which was the basis of this narrative. Something I would like to do better, or different, is capture a natural narrative. Instead of observing people in their element and framing that, I instead crafted a story with a hired model, which certainly feels artificial at its core. I’d like to take a step out of my comfort zone next time.
