What to Expect

So much of who we are gets expressed before we ever speak a word.

The way you get dressed in the morning, the objects you choose to keep close, the music you put on when people come into your space — these aren't trivial choices. They're a form of self-expression that's been quietly, consistently reflecting your inner world back to you.

That jacket you've held onto for seven years? There's a reason it's still there. That vinyl you spent three years hunting down? Because it's the album your best friend played on repeat summer 16'.

These things are a language. This week, we're going to photograph it.

Set Design

• A bold, high contrast single color backdrop (Red)

• Flatlay shots from directly overhead: you lying down, surrounded by everything you brought, arranged like an archive of yourself

• Your objects treated as compositional elements. Music gear, books, clothing, food, tools, anything that tells your story

• Wear your boldest - color, pattern, texture, all of it encouraged
