"My soul is from another time" is my first ever, minted photograph across all my collections. This photograph fits in perfectly with my Hopeless Hearts Club series in many different fashions. I was able to hold a long conversation with Alizee about her successes in life, her disappointments, struggles, joys, adventures around the world, and everything in between. The topic of her having an old soul came up quite often, not only within herself, but her daughter as well. That is why I knew I needed to tie in her old soul quote. At this exact moment in the photograph, I captured a moment of pure transparency. This shot is when I finally saw who Alizee really was behind her vail. I asked her casually, not expecting a true answer, what her deepest, darkest secret was. She paused for just a moment, looked directly at me with an unsure gaze (I quickly snapped the photo) and she decided to take the leap. She spent the next several minutes telling me all about her secret which was buried deep, hidden within her soul. I took in that moment, and realized what was just said and what had happened. It was my first time ever, as an amuature photographer, really breaking down the barrier between the model and camera. The rest of the photographs that followed we're a lot more "loose" and relaxed. They felt more authentic and raw and that broken barrier is something I'll aspire to reach in the rest of my photographs moving forward.

In the Unlockable content, the winner of this piece will receive several other photographs from the shoot that night, including "My soul is from another time" all at 22x15, 350 Resolution and may be printed. Lastly, what was Alizee's deepest darkest secret you ask? Well, you'll just have to ask her yourself!
