A SHOCKING DISCOVERY

This was a project I created in college for my media production class. We were tasked with crafting and telling a story through imagery. I chose to shoot it like an old B&W noir film from the 30's and 40's. My good friend, Hampton Dillard gladly accepted the role as the "protagonist."


You can tell I thought I was the next David Lynch with these shots and by the fact that I used my full name in the title.
