Artsea

For this project, I decided to focus on creating compositions by looking through a mirror. The story in Artsea depicts a day in the life of a crazed artist. The first four images depict a linear story, where the artist first wakes up and decides to paint, and the others are images where I expanded and broke the rules of my original four images.

Project Notes

This shoot was part art, part chaos, and 100% sun-soaked fun. We hit the beach with a model playing a free-spirited, slightly unhinged artist—armed with paint, a mirror, and a love for booze and bold self-expression. Between brushstrokes and beers, he created wild images on the mirror… and eventually passed out in the sand. (Method acting? We’ll never know.)

Shooting “Artsea” was more than just a good time—it taught me how to work with direct sunlight, control wild reflections in mirrors, and how to direct a model without killing the vibe. It was messy, bright, hilarious, and unpredictable—but somehow, everything clicked. And the mirror? It caught way more than just a reflection.
