What do they make? Lloyd photographs an array of different subjects, including landscapes, portraits, and concerts, but most recently has been on Love On Tour 2022-23 with Harry Styles photographing him.

Why is their work important to YOUR passion project? Their work is important to my project because I was first introduced to his photography through concert images posted on Harry Style's Instagram. The unique perspectives and dramatic lighting are what I hope to accomplish in my concert photos of Taylor Swift to convey her genuine and authentic persona. His work is inspiring and a goal I wish to achieve in this passion project, and future assignments.

Reflect and Convey
"Develop the ability to confidently communicate (both verbally and in writing) to a wider audience the intention, process, and meaning of your artwork and the artwork of others"

I chose the "Reflect and Convey" habit of mind because my goal is to be able to convey all of the emotions expressed in Taylor Swift's lyrics through photographs, and simultaneously the lyrics immense impact on fans. I want to intentionally reflect Taylor's emotions, and therefore be deliberate about my photography at the concert to ensure that I am communicating with the viewer the most raw and authentic depiction.
