The first Dinner Party of the series takes place at my apartment in New Albany, Indiana, where I lived during my post-bac program at IUS. The people in this shoot are some of the first friends I made after moving to this area. One coworker, one friend, one roommate/studio mate, and one more studio mate that held lights. All of which I was grateful to call friends during this period of my life. This first project could not have been made possible without my friend, Lauren Stone, who photographed and edited the photos to fit my vision.
