  Grand Project PhotographySeries of portraits presented as part of the final project during my exchange at ESAG Penninghen, Paris.

  What can I do to make a difference?Competition entry to the RSA Student Design Awards 2020 with Victoria Ariza Ruiz. Solely using Adobe After Effects, we created an animation using a mixture of rotoscope animation and abstract shapes and colours to illuminate the audio track. Discussing a very critical topic to todays society, this video was made using slightly abstract metaphors and visuals to allow for self interpretation amongst the viewers and to encourage them to think about the audios true meaning.
