‘GRUNGIER’ by EMILIE_A
RELOAD - 22 APR 2017
"The (few) photos that I took on the roof were in complete public. I thought it would look cool to have the roof tops in the background, and as soon as I took off my towel and stood up I realised I was overlooking a carpark and heaps of people could see me. I ducked, and tried to hide but then thought fuck it, and quickly took some snaps. Three times I went back up there and chickened out after a bit - but posing up there was cool because a) I couldn't see anything so I wasn't able to pose like I could inside, which forced me to just be as I was and b) I was totally in public!!! I originally tried doing a shoot in my own bedroom, but I felt totally uninspired. I needed a weirder location, and I ended up shooting in my friends weird share house which is basically all these small rooms at the back of a shop. Being in a dirtier and more grungy room than my own made me feel sort of cool and really helped me get out of my shell."
