In Between

Yesterday, I spent four hours in the dark room developing the prints from Katie's photo shoot, and they're finally ready to be seen!

A true photographer wouldn't have to explain their pictures, but I'm still learning so I'm going to give you a little synopsis.

In the beginning, this young girl is torn up inside, in too much pain to survive but terrified to die. She turns her body into a suicide note for her loved ones to find and walks into the ocean, ready to end it all. She thinks she knows what she's getting into, but as the waves crash over her, she begins to panic. For the first time, her emotional pain is secondary to actual physical pain. She changes her mind and reaches for the shore...but it's too late.

The words are lyrics from In Between by Linkin Park. This shoot was also inspired by Calm Under the Waves by Maria Mena and Into the Ocean by Blue October.

And don't worry, not all of my pictures are going to be this depressing! Most of them, maybe, but not all.
