For my assignment, I chose the theme of ‘light at the end of the tunnel’. When I was planning it out, I was thinking about ideas for where the pictures could be. I was thinking of all the places I could have as a background, when It hit me that the place that would be best, is home.
Originally, I had the idea of doing pictures of my house, perfectly organized and clean, but with no one in it. I got the idea from the current coronavirus pandemic going on in the world right now, what if the virus hit us and everyone had to leave their houses. “What would that look like?”.
But then as I was going down the hallway into the dark bedroom, and saw light at the end in just my room, I got the idea of light, and then thought of the phrase, “There is always light at the end of the tunnel.” Which then got me thinking about how I can translate that saying into my photography.
That’s how it all came to be. I then decided to add some form of objects blocking the light, as if to say you have to just get through one more obstacle before you complete your journey.
