The Art of the Personal Project is a crucial element to let potential buyers see how you think creatively on your own. I am drawn to personal projects that have an interesting vision or that show something I have never seen before. In this thread, I’ll include a link to each personal project with the artist statement so you can see more of the project. Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find. Please DO NOT send me your work. I do not take submissions.
Today’s featured artist: Collin Erie
“How we perceive and make sense of the world around us is becoming challenging. As our reality becomes more and more influenced by our screens, I wanted to find a way to visualize this subjective human experience in our contemporary culture.”

I like the pictures but it looks like documentation of a Dance performance; commercial or otherwise; filed under Personal Project. There were no extra details on the photographer’s website. lovely work – just questioning the filing of this project.
As for me, I thought they were beautifully done with dramatic lighting to illustrate what Collin is saying “as our reality becomes more and more influenced by our screens” I see that as showing we can chose two paths with what we read to either to stand up for your own opinions or follow the masses”
I liked that message of the personal project so I posted it. I like to find unique projects.
