Portrait Series

Pictures were taken in Downtown St. Petersburg near Beach Drive, and on Ben T. Davis Beach. Both of these areas were used as a background and setup for this portrait series because these were both places that the models felt comfortable. I wanted to portray them in an element that they both could express true emotion and possess a feeling of beauty and confidence in their own skin. I wanted to be able to use somewhat secluded and less busy places so the models would not feel judged or awkward.
