This photograph is taken from my final photography project. In my work I often choose to capture the light. Ironically, I would consider myself a pessimist. In everyday life I look for the darkness of each situation. In this series I still choose to search for the light. I keep the soft movements alive while capturing the perverse. From the outside, situations can appear vulgar; I want to show past the surface appearance. However, I want the viewer to create the story based on the information given from the photograph and the title.
