Artist Statement: These intent of these photos is to show the underlying emotion behind the subjects's smiles. I believe that these photos successfully display the emotion behind the subject's smiles, whether it be sadness stress, or simply joy. All of the photos were taken with dynamic lighting, the intent of which is to highlight the subject's facial features. Some of these photos were taken with a colorful background, the goal of this was to contrast the subject with the background. The backgrounds of all photos have been altered to move the viewer's focus to the subject of the photo.
