BRIEF- 
This series was inspired by Kelli Connell’s “Double Life”, which explores different sides of a person’s identity. I worked with my friend to represent the same person in each photograph, showing contrasting aspects of their personality, such as the masculine and feminine, or the rational and emotional self. I studied Connell’s approach to composition and storytelling to create staged scenes that highlight these different facets through pose, lighting, and expression.
