entry description
This is an image from my series entitled "love, p:ear". P:ear is a non profit creative mentorship space for homeless and transitional youth here in Portland, Oregon. I had been volunteering for almost a year when I was asked if I'd like to do a pursuit project with the youth. I immediately imagined the idea of creating a very regal, heightened environment to photograph the subjects as is. The goal being to create portraits that manage to portray the individual with the importance of royalty while still remaining grounded and honest. I shot it all on my 6x9 medium format film camera. The subject in this photo is Spidey.about the photographer
