One of the biggest projects I have tackled was the rebrand of the band, Indecisive. They are a local college band based in Lexington, TN. This is what their Instagram currently looks like.

Collage of Images by Photographer Nan Goldin
Research for Photography Project
GDES 345, Spring 2024


These are a series of images that motivated me to create my unique photography piece, "Going Through The Motions" (as seen on the Graphic Design page). I was heavily inspired by Nan Goldin and her artistic style. Through extensive research in her catalog, I noticed two main aspects that set her apart from other photographers: she romanticizes everyday life and evokes powerful, raw emotions that the audience can easily visualize. One way that I accomplished this in my original work was by taking photos from different lightings and angles. I also decided that I wanted to encapsulate a more candid appearance in my replication. Overall, the final composition is what sold my piece. I did not include my full face in the frame and increased my shutter speed to give it a blurred effect. Although my piece is not a direct replication of Nan Goldin, it is heavily inspired by and in the essence of her style.
