A Final Moment

My portrait photography project will be titled “A Final Moment”.  This project will be a small collection of photos, likely a triptych or collection of 9 photos, depending on how many I take. “A Final Moment” will be comprised of portraits with the prompt: “If the world were to end tomorrow evening, what would you do?” While brainstorming, I realized that this prompt varies for each person since everyone will want to spend their last moments doing the things they love most or the things they’ve never gotten to do, which varies per person. I want viewers of my portrait photography project to think about how they would respond to the question and who or what they hold closest to their hearts. In order to achieve an effect that feels hypothetical, dreamy, and conclusive, I will take inspiration from a photographer like Ernst Haas, who takes more abstract portraits in black and white.
