For the spirituality assignment, I wanted to capture and encompass something that has nothing to do with religion or specific beliefs, but something that has a more individual meaning, one that the viewer can interpret and relate to based on his or her own life experiences. The setting, the way the girls lounge, and their connection to nature and the environment hopefully speaks to the inner spirit of all viewers. I hoped to capture what I felt and witnessed as I photographed them; their carefree, pure, free-spirits, and the inner peace that radiated through their skin and made them seem somewhat goddess-like, even angelic. Using filters, I wanted to create the most contrast possible, especially because the girls were wearing white and the background of the forest is so dark. I think the contrast definitely adds to the visual impact of the photo and its meaning, whatever it may be to each individual.
