RACHEL RACHEL

The last few years have exponentially changed who I am in many ways. From the timid little freshman who didn’t speak in her ceramics class, to taking charge of photoshoots senior year, I have learned that there is nothing I can’t conquer if I give it my all and trust myself in the process. There are things that never change though, like my love of Disney, or my floral doodles, or my Volkswagen Beetle named Phoebe.

WHEN LIFE GIVES ME LEMONS

An exploration in video, image, composition, and storytelling that conveys a part of my personality. I explored different angles in the video, manipulation of light, and challenged myself to use food and film entirely on an iPhone. I like to turn around situations in my life and use them as a chance to better myself and reframe my mindset. Getting hit on the head with lemon could be the start of a beautiful day.

THE FASHION OF FACE COVERINGS

Within the confines of this zine lives a photo study dedicated to the hottest new accessory: the face mask. I have pushed this necessary safety precaution of wearing face coverings during the COVID-19 global pandemic into the realm of high fashion, editorial style photography. All masks are hand-made and designed by myself and Kate Neff.

GIVERNY “ET PLEIN AIR”

Giverny “Et Plein Air” inspires and entrances the wearer of this delicate fragrance. Envisioned to mimic the scents in Monet’s very own garden in Giverny, France. Notes of fresh water and blooming irises paint a bright scent on the skin. Water lilies, the muse of many works, infuse a lemony aroma.
