I wanted to capture a surreal atmosphere through experimenting with light and focus. The framing of the photograph was set up through an open doorframe to capture a candid and calm behind-the-scenes shot. Using a slow shutter speed and dim lighting, I achieved a ghosting effect through having the subjects move out of frame as the camera was taking the photo, making them partially transparent. I made this choice to give the photograph more of an ethereal atmosphere.

Creativity means finding methods to express yourself in a new way that makes other people either understand you more or understand themselves more. Not only is photography an outlet to tell a story about the subject, it also gives the viewer insight into the photographer through their point of view.
