My Inspiration: I tried to communicate the message of how sometimes people surround theselves with so much technology that they lose connections with other people. Just looking around on the street you might see many people talking on cellphone or with headphones in their ears and less people talking face to face.
Challeges to overcome: I re-shot this photo narrative an ungodly number of times because each time I faced the same problem: terrible lighting. I was attempting to create several interesting lighting angles, but everytime the pictures would come out dark and if I tried to lighten them, they'd be grainy. At last I just tried turning on all the lights I possibly could and shot the pictures.
