This project was an exploration in composition and photo manipulation work for my Wintersession 2020 course on portrait photography at Rhode Island School of Design. I was attempting to manipulate and stylize the photos in a way that supported themselves as a platform for self expression without the need for over-explanation. The stylization was loosely based off a couple of games, including arcade-style games found at hockey rinks in Massachusetts and Playstation 1+2 games that I owned as a child.
