My Obsession

For my obsession project, I chose to photograph my chinchilla Roxie. I've had her since I was thirteen years old, therefore, I figured she was a good choice to be the focus of my project. The photographs I took of Roxie also resemble myself through the objects around her. The first three pictures were taken in my room and symbolize my love for fashion using shoeboxes, a shopping bag, and jewelry. The bottom two were taken in my basement. The one of Roxie in the game closet shows that I enjoy playing board games, and the bottom photo was taken on my brother's drum set to represent my love for music. Each of these photos were challenging to take since it was very hard to get Roxie to stay still long enough for me to get a good picture of her. Overall, I thought it was a fun project to shoot for.

  1. These pictures are adorable. You took an animal with plain colored fur and make it really stand out amongst bright backgrounds and fun objects. I really enjoyed them. My favorite is the Couture bag. Makes me thing your pet is "high quality." So cute!

  3. This so clever! Its so much fun. I almost feel like I'm in the day in the life of Roxie. I also think they incorporate some of you. They are things that you could also be into. Its like the merging of two passions. Nice job!

  4. Clearly, your series was shot with a very deliberate staging of objects and perfect placement of your pet. The second and third image, I believe, are the strongest all around in terms or lighting, balance, and composition. But you cant help but to appreciate them all!

  5. That is extremely cute, I'm a little bit jealous. Excellent concept, it almost feels like the pictures are telling a story throughout. Also the fact that all the pictures do not only include Roxie but also something about yourself in them is impressive. I'm especially fond of the second picture.
