The Girls / What did you want to be when you grew up?

For this project we had only a few hours to create an experimental portrait or series. Our idea was to portray a few occupations that when you’re a kid, you have every ambition to fulfill, but as you get older, things just don’t tend to work out like that. We portrayed a failed professional footballer, a failed architect and a failed army sargeant in these three portraits. I enjoyed this project and I like the results, as it gave you a unique insight into being a kid again and dreaming of what you wanted to be when you were older.
