Being a portrait photographer, I tend to capture the subtle nuances of each person I photograph in order to uncover their unique qualities. I tend to build a connection and a relationship with the subject in hopes of getting to know them as a person. This time I chose to flip that process and photograph something in my life. Through this collection of photographs, I portray the four-year-long, intimate relationship with my boyfriend, Bryce. These images are a real, tangible representation of something that changed my life entirely through experiencing love and finding a true life partner. I hope to depict the details of a loyal and honest relationship that I hold close to my heart. This project was captured in our first apartment together, from small intimate moments we share to the memorabilia saved from our past.
