Herloom



My childhood toy...

For the heirloom shoot I decided to capture still life images of my childhood best friend Lamby. My Great Grandmother gave him to me when I was younger. Every time I would lose him I would have a panic attack and cry everywhere. He is still in my room around my bed or in my bed. That’s why I decided to shoot Lamby in my bed and on my windowsill in my room.

25






 The goal of these photographs were to capture photographs that are candid or seem candid. Adele is very candid and shares a lot of her personal life to the world through her songs. I wanted to capture that in the photographs. I used song lyrics instead of just the titles. I did this because the lyrics are way more personal and detailed then the titles that represent the songs.



"When I walk around all these streets." 

 
"I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me."

"In the light of day."
 
 "Its so cold out here in your wilderness."

 "They can't look me in the eye."

"When the night keeps you from sleeping."
