In this series of photos, I used my subject's extremely long and beautiful hair to transform, my subject matter. I was inspired by stepping outside of the box and trying a technique I never have done before. As the result of playing with the shutter speed and experimenting with movement, I finally achieved an effortless, double exposure effect to my photographs. I was pushing myself to be more creative and try things I have never done before. At first I was apprehensive on how the end product would look, but through a long process of trial and error, my mind became flooded with creativity, unorthodox ideas. Her long hair inspired me because I could capture it in such abstract ways and in a style that is was so different from what I had done in the past. Overall, I tried to achieve an effortless and playful tone for these images. I learned that experimentation really opens my mind to endless creativity possibilities and I will continue to explore new ways of photographing my subjects. The concept that inspired this shoot was the idea of letting go of the things that are out of your control. Too many people often try to micromanage every aspect of their lives. Being a senior in high school, many things like college admissions especially, are out of my control once submitted. I've learned it is best to simply try your best but then no longer worry while waiting for the outcome.
