This time, my project title will be “Inherent. ” I will be more likely to focus on and present on my own emotions or spirit world, so I will be the main subject for this subject. The central idea I want to explore with my photographs is showing humans’ inner world in contrast to our outer world. People all have inner feelings and aspects that are deep inside their hearts, so at least we all have two sides. So this project is not only about showing my own inside through visual expression, it is also an expression of the real myself. I got my inspiration from the photographer Adrian Steirn’s work called A Reflection of Dignity, I really appreciate the idea of letting the model hold the mirror and take shots from the mirror in this piece of work. It’s a very new and creative way to create a portrait photograph. The mirror is also a symbol of reflecting the reality. So I decided I would also use the reflection as well in my creation.  I might also only let the area inside the mirror be colorful, and the other area will be black and white. I think this kind of color form can make the theme of “inner reality” more clear, and that can let my audience focus on the part I want to show them. I want them to see my pictures and understand my idea, then think about their own inner feelings and who they really are.
