These aren't portraits, I am not a photographer!

These aren't portraits, I am not a photographer!

Project about my questioning of the traditional conventions of studio and portrait photography. 

Initially, the work took the form of a zine, where I examined my perspective on fashion photography as an art school student. I captured my models in candid moments between poses, when the moment desicif had seemingly already passed, moments that were often overlooked, reflecting on the process of creating 'authentic' portraits.

In a continuation of the work, I experimented with studio portraits where I photographed people from multiple angles at the same time, drawing inspiration from Barbara Probst's Exposures. 

The project also includes self-portraits taken in the photo studio, showcasing myself as both the creator and the subject of the image, further challenging the traditional norms of portrait photography.
