Environmental & Studio Portraiture

For my environmental and studio portraiture project, I want to portray a "loss of innocence" theme. I want to express to the audience how childhood is very crucial and significant to growing up (maturing physically and mentally) and realizing true worth and purpose. Becoming a woman, I think it is important to be confident and stay true to yourself. Going into adulthood, we (as a society) tend to become insecure and not aware of the events going on around us in our everyday lives. Adolescence can be a very confusing concept to grasp and g]have full understanding of. In my overall "theme" of my project, I want to show my audience how one can lead another to self destruction by loosing innocence or a having a sense or protection We may carry this loss with us until the day we die. It is very crucial to growing up and having full self awareness as one carries themselves in the world.
