I LOVE doing work for clients, but sometimes you have to do things for yourself as well. I’ve been working on a series of photos that are just for myself. I’ve found that one of the best ways I get inspiration is from songs. Ever listen to a song you just love and you can picture the lyrics in your head? Every photo in this series is a self portrait inspired by a line of lyrics.
Here are a few of my favorites so far! Below each photo is the line of lyrics that inspired by it along with a link to the song on youtube.
