Lost in the Labyrinth
A visual look into the mind of Taylor Swift.
Artist's Statement
Music and photography have both been a very important part of my life since I was young. Combining the two is something that I have found very inspiring and hope to continue into my career after graduating, by working in the industry as a concert photographer or shooting album cover artwork. For my current project, “Lost in the Labyrinth,” I have focused on lyrics by Taylor Swift, as her storytelling is an amazing start to visualizing a scene to photograph, almost like a mini album cover!

"Give me back my girlhood,
it was mine first."
"I'll be summer sun
for you forever."
"To live for the hope of it all."
"Now he sits on his throne,
in his palace of bones,
praying to his greed."
“I’m right where you left me”
“I'm getting tired even
for a phoenix.”
“Wondering if I'd get there
quicker if I was a man.”
"So scarlet it was maroon."
“Your heart was glass I dropped it.”
“You won’t remember all my champagne problems.”
“Now my eyes leak acid rain on
the pillow where you used
to lay your head.”
“Call it what you want.”
