Recently, I had the opportunity to create a series of 10 images to hang in the Phoenix College Library. I was inspired by photographer Brandon Stanton who created "Humans of New York". Stanton takes portraits of New Yorkers and interviews them about parts of their life. I wanted to try a similar project with students at Phoenix College, the college I attend. My intention was to show off each subjects unique journey and personality while simultaneously creating a community of support among the students and viewers.
“Be selfish; you can’t always give to others, sometimes you have to give to yourself. I’ve dealt with so many disappointments, and I’ve realized that people are never going to care about you the way you care for you. -Heather”
