The inspiration for my Massachusetts meets Rhode Island photo series is black and white portraits that tell a story through facial expressions. I enjoy photographing portraits because the face can communicate without words. Black and white highlights your subject and emphasizes emotion and character. As a photographer I want my viewer to interpret my series in their own way, considering the order and setting of the photographs, as well as the development of each facial expression. Photography became extremely important with me this year. Everywhere I go it seems as if theres always an opportunity to photograph something that catches my eye.
