Narrative :
For my photo essay I choose to photograph my niece at the beach to capture the concepts of youth and innocence. This is important to my because my sister became pregnant as a teenager and seeing her go through the struggle of life is hard enough, but seeing an innocent child who has no choice in the matter have to live through the difficulties that resulted from her conception is even worse. This topic hit home because being with her in a setting when she is having fun and is being carefree is such a dramatic contrast to how you think she would be given the unfortunate circumstances of her life. I think these pictures capture the concepts of youth and innocence really well because some photos show the carefree and excited facial expressions while other show the curiosity of a child. I arranged these photos so that they could tell a story. The excitement of her when she first arrives, the curiosity and wonder of her as she explores the seaside and the sea shell, and the maturity that you can tell exists from her upbringing even though she is not yet 5 years old. The pictures are visually unifying in the subject matter and in the colors.
