Portrait Project
For my portrait project, I interviewed and photographed my cousin Ellie Barker. The intent of the interview questions to show her personality to those who don't know her. I chose questions directly related to emotions; what she loves, what she doesn't, what she wants, etc. To take photos, I had her lead me throughout her house to her favorite places, letting her dictate the bulk of the photographs. To me, this was the best way to show her personality.
