During my second year at K-State, I was assigned a project that required me to capture two emotions using photography: ecstasy and lust. Through these images I was able to improve my editing skills in Lightroom and Photoshop as well as experimenting with exposure and shutter speed of the camera.

I used a variety of elements to capture the feeling of lust, such as makeup, lighting, and small props. For this specific series, I decided to focus on the more painful part of lust because I felt that I would be able to make more visually appealing images with that.
