A Story in 7 Shots

For this week, we were tasked with brainstorming, storyboarding, and then shooting seven photographs that as a whole should (hopefully) convey a complete story.

I settled on the idea of “An Unexpected Dinner Guest” because 1) I wanted to find a way to utilize my apartment as my primary setting, and 2) I wanted to feature my dog in the photos. I decided to go ‘film noir’ in terms of the vibe– you’ll notice that the photos are black and white– because it gave a more focused, cohesive, and striking overall look.
