During a much needed respite from finals week spring semester, I worked with the immensely talented Emma on this shoot, exploring the attic and basement of Root. She's incredible in front of the camera; it really took me by surprise at the beginning. I'm used to having to direct models (as in my wonderful friends that I coerce into my photographs) and working with Emma, I didn't have to do any of that at all. I was able to focus a lot more on the photo itself, which was really refreshing.
