Pinhole camera project

I decided not to edit any of my photos past inverting them to embrace the imperfections of my work. I have ripped photo paper and cut photo paper that is off to highlight the imperfections in my work. With one of my self-portraits, I even got pen on it and I decided to fix it but I didn’t want to just cut it and ignore the mistake I had made so instead I ripped it to highlight the mistake and embrace it.

Duration sequence (ass pics)

- The duration shows the learning with the pinhole camera, first and second picture are shaky and not clear, also a line through one of them and it just isn’t the clearest, but it shows the learning process to get a good picture. The third one is still a little blurry, but I honestly like the esthetic. Shows the time it takes to work through a problem and working through how to take a good photo.

- So, mooning pictures, why did I decide to do mooning pictures? You might ask, I have three main reasons behind it.

o First reason is that the box I used for my camera holds a lot of negative energy and weight for me and it is kind of like a last fuck you to that part of my life.

o Second is from a more feminist perspective in that mooning is seen as a more male act and it is seen as quite vulgar and not “lady like” so it is taking this back for women and showing that we can be vulgar, and nudity doesn’t have to be inherently sexual.

o The last one and I think the most important is that its 2021 and we are living through a pandemic and I’m out here taking pictures of my ass with a pinhole camera…. That’s fucking hilarious I think anyways

Self portrait

- I took a couple self-portraits and inverted them.

- Not much to it just a picture of me

Where my eyes cannot go

- I decided to rip and cut photo paper and then stick it back together and take a picture then develop it with the ripped and cut paper.

- Due to the fact that it is raised and different textures due to the paper and there are sometimes spots missing due to the collaging, there is no way that my eyes could go there by themselves.

- I had a more intricate idea for this portion another part to it but I ran out of time.

Candidly queer: portraits of identity This book seeks to dive into the multifaceted lives of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Putting a spotlight on the rich diversity inherent within the 2SLGBTQ+ comm unity.

This photobook will be a collection of photos predominantly with analog black and white film photography occasionally supplemented with digital colour photographs. The colour photographs wil l be incorporated to bring to light the multitude of colours that the 2SLGBTQ+ community exhibits. One of the most important pieces of this

Response to persona 1966

This movie honestly made me quite angry just based on the fact that in true 1966 fashion they did not portray mental health very well. It was quite frustrating and I had many negative feelings throughout the movie. Sometimes I find that we romanticize the idea of a film due to its claim to being very artistic and people aren't critical enough about the content and the portrayal of vulnerable populations. Because the movie did a horrible job at depicting mental illness I decided to take it upon myself to do some of the work in depicting mental illness in a way that was more realistic. I decided to write my own disclaimer for the project: "Persona" (1966) contains representations rooted in misogyny and misinformation, which may now be seen as outdated or insensitive. Be aware of: 1. Mental Health : Depictions may not reflect current understanding or compassion. 2. Hysterical Woman Trope : An oversimplified dramatization of women's emotions. 3. Psychotic Lesbi

Trans rights: projection project

This projection project is in a box, the reason it is in a box is because like many other people in the 2SLGBTQ+ community trans people often have to hide who they are our of fear of discrimination or in the case that this project outlines; death. Trigger warning: death, suicide, hate crimes against the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The project was completed around November 20th which is transgender day of remembrance. On November 20th every year we remember the lives of trans people who were lost in the past year. Still in 2023 there were over 300 individuals lost world wide and around 7 in Canada due to hate crimes or suicide. The box that I have created has the words "trans rights" being projected onto articles from the anti sexual orientation and gender identity protests going on across Canada. These hateful protests send messages to trans and gender diverse individuals that they are not welcome to be who they are in spaces that are meant to be safe for them such as schools. Thi
