i am now looking into how a space can affect our moods and emotions. i found an interesting article online that inspires me look further into this. http://freshome.com/2007/04/17/room-color-and-how-it-affects-your-mood/. i wasnt sure how to approach this concept so i decided that photography might just be the route to go down to begin with. as i dont have alot of experience with photography i began looking up information and tips on how to capture emotion in photos. http://digital-photography-school.com/adding-emotion-and-feeling-to-photographs.
along with looking at photographers i looked at painters that dealt with emotion, i came across jenny saville and although her paintings focus on a different topic i liked how the women were positioned in her paintings.

i have began photographing my roomate niamh in different spaces in order to capture the change in her emotions. the aim is to capture her in varied  spaces such as college, home outdoors, familiar/unfamiliar spaces and empty(alone) spaces.
