Alcove exhibit collection
This series began in January 2022 with a few purses and my mom and I’s creative minds. We wanted to take a photograph with a purse but in an artful type way. We started out by taking pictures of a shell purse next to other shells lying on our table. We would use the trinkets we had around the house as props for the photoshoots. This led to bringing the purse along with me to take pictures on the road. We would stop at an ice-cream shop, a side street, Farmer’s markets, a neighbor’s house, an ice rink, a train station, and anywhere we could put a purse. My younger brother always came along to help be an arm, cameraman, and more. My mom and I always have these fun crazy ideas to photograph. My mom is always there to help with ideas, be an arm, camerawoman, prop holder, and much more. She is my creative caddy. This is an ongoing series about travel and lifestyle with currently 58 photographs in the collection. Once I finish the series it will be published into a coffee table book. To stay up to date about my photographs, follow me @loreleis_lens or check out my website loreleislens.com!
