Here is a project that is similar to Megan's previous Senior. Thought others might be interested...
"When I am in public, I watch people going about their daily routines
alone; I wonder about the lives they lead, wonder how they experience
the world around them and how they make meaning of it. I spend time
inventing stories for them: narratives of isolation, of questioning and
searching, of desire, and of confusion. The images in Other People’s Clothes
are a product of my exploration of private moments of expectation, a
visual expression of my experiences stepping into the shoes of the types
of people I see on a daily basis.
Each photograph in the series is a constructed scene that begins with
an outfit or piece of clothing (either bought, found, or borrowed),
then a person that I imagine to fill those clothes, and finally a
location where that person can play out a silent moment alone. This
moment is the time right before something changes, the holding in of a
breath and waiting, the preparing of oneself for what is to come. Though
I am the physical subject of these images, they are not traditional
self-portraits. They are portraits of people I have never met but with
whom I feel familiar, as well as documents of the process wherein I try
on the transitional moments of others’ lives in order to better
understand my own."
