Through My Eyes is a photojournalistic as well as a digital video project based on queer identity and experience. This project takes a physical form through the use of 4x5 photography as well as a digital video installation. Through My Eyes consists of a series of 3 images printed at 24x30 and 1 video per subject, taken in a space where they feel the most comfortable and themselves, usually within a household setting. Each subject touches upon their own experiences being queer such as their coming out stories, how being queer has impacted their lives, and any notable aspects of their journey that they wish to share. Through My Eyes aims to highlight that aspect of individuality within each and every queer person. It shows that not only do queer people relate with each other through universal experiences, but also shows how each person has their own story to tell. It is about bringing people together to show that you are not alone no matter who you are or where you may come from. The merging of 4x5 photography as well as the use of video creates a sense of intimacy between the subjects and the viewers. Since 4x5 photography is a very long process, it brings a large amount of trust between the subject and the photographer which translates extremely well into the images. This creates an image where the subject is both vulnerable but also comfortable within themselves. The addition of video in the project shows the viewers that the subjects are not just part of a still image. The video is projected largely on a wall to emphasize the stories being told. These stories are meant to give a voice to real people who have gone through various points in their lives. The video aspect of the project is meant to complement and elevate the photographic portion by digging further into the backgrounds of each person and have the subjects themselves share their own stories.
