“Home” is always a remembering place that contains memories, no matter whether with parents, brothers, or sisters. Therefore, the emotions towards "home" must be complicated. It can bring joy, fulfillment, and a sense of connection, but it can also be challenging and sometimes painful. But whether we love or hate it, we cannot erase the traces of home.
One day we will leave home to find ourselves and live our own lives.
Maybe time just always punishes those who are still stuck in the past.

Savannah Shack De La Cruz aims to turn her visions and daydreams into reality. She investigates underwater photography and the idea of integrating it into the scenery of New York City in her project Not That Deep. Through her creative portraits, she tries to capture her personal interest in futurism and dystopia. Through her journey, she has come to the realization that her work is really Not That Deep, and that she prefers to create pieces for the visual rather than fabricate philosophical interpretations for them. Her objective is to use the skill set she's acquired throughout her time in college to create visually appealing dystopian artwork that stems from her daydreams and interests.

This series of images is about the post-Phantom of the Opera on Broadway world. It focuses on not only the ever changing Majestic theater but also the closing cast, fans, and most importantly myself. Phantom has been a major part of my life since I was 10 years old, and to live in a world where I can no longer stop by the theater to get tickets makes me uneasy. It has been a constant throughout my life and now it is gone. So, to help me and my friends, and the actors cope with the loss of our favorite Broadway show I want to create as many portraits of them and of the actors as possible.
I remember first hearing the announcement that Phantom would be closing. I had taken a nap in between my classes and the first thing I saw when I opened Twitter was an article from the NY Post, titled “‘Phantom of The Opera’ to close after 35 years on Broadway”. To say my heart sank to my stomach would be an understatement. The tears immediately started flowing down my face. I had facetimed my mom while she was at work and she couldn’t understand anything I was saying. It felt as if the entire world had stopped spinning.

For Furensic Fauxtographs, I put a playful twist on autopsy, forensics, and anatomy. Using my experience as a forensic photographer, I create a mockup of an autopsy and forensic photography using children's toys and self made dioramas. I will be using an animal figurine as the decedent, and organ stuffed toys as the specimens. I want my images to have a clean and clinical aesthetic, and I will be using the same exact techniques as I do at work. My goal for this project will be to destigmatize death and the human body, and educate people on anatomy and autopsy in a palatable way.

Combining my experience as a forensic photographer with my love for whimsical childlike things, I created Furensic Fauxtographs, an exploration between forensics and childrens toys.
My lifelong curiosity of anatomy is what led me to the morgue. As a child, I was exceedingly inquisitive, and my main fascination was with pathology and the human body. I spent a lot of my time studying thrifted medical textbooks and childrens’ anatomy encyclopedias, always eager to learn more.
Fifteen years later, I’m still the same. My life changed dramatically when I began interning as a forensic photographer at the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in June of 2022. Since then, I have photographed hundreds of bodies, autopsies, specimens, and countless pieces of evidence. Most importantly, I have found my purpose, and have grown in ways that I didn’t even know were possible.
Of all of the things that I have photographed, I have developed a special fondness for organs. When I tell people about my interest in organs, or my passion for forensic photography, they usually recoil– which is a reaction that I have a hard time accepting. The human body is an incredible vessel made up of a collection of tissues and organs that keep us alive. Forensic photography is photography with purpose. Using my photography as a voice for the voiceless, as well as having the honor of photographing a person for the very last time, has been the most rewarding experience of my life.

All of my mothers kids are grown and moved out and she spends more time alone then she ever has had to before. Throughout all of it she has always been herself and always puts on a brave face, however through my photographs she has revealed a completely different side of herself that I have gained further insight on throughout this project. I see all the things she never had time to do as we were kids. for the first time in her adult life she is free to finally put herself and her life first and watching her take advantage of her new found time is like meeting a whole new person, For better or for worse her life has completely changed and documenting the transition from her life for the last 30 years. Throughout this exploration I expected to see my mother lonely however was surprised to find her having a new found sense of freedom and independence that she is excited to explore.

“Bodies of Motion” is a series of dance portraits with an emphasis and focus on the body and movement. Growing up, dancing was a huge part of my life and a major creative outlet for me, as well as being heavily influenced by my mother who danced professionally in her early twenties. Dance, movement, and expression have shaped and sculpted me into the individual and creative I am today. I have always been fascinated with the body in general, but especially when it comes to dancers, as it is the most important aspect of their work. With a love for capturing processes and creatives while I shoot, I wanted to focus on the dancer’s “tool” which is their body.

Being natural is not good enough. I have decided to photograph my sisters while demonstrating this weight of appearance and how it weighs on us all as women. My sisters are my best friends. We cry together, we fight together, and we laugh together. Through my photographic exploration I discovered the weight materialism has on us all and how stereotypical womanhood is different for every female. I photograph the drama of having sisters while discovering the fragility of female stereotypes. I ended up realizing what femininity meant to each one of us and the impact self image plays in our lives and our relationships with each other.
Aging and Creativity

For this body of work I have decided to turn the lens towards myself and the experience of getting older. Aging in Western culture is traditionally associated with physical frailty
and psychological decay. This project explores the new paradigms on old age and the idea that creativity is a quality that improves as time passes and we obtain more experience, an overlooked positive aspect of the aging process. In my own life I have found that staying creatively active has smooths out the emotional turmoil of being forced to emigrate at the age of 60. This physical and psychological displacement has rendered me a kind of tabula rasa, and returning to school to ‘fill in’ that blank slate has become a driving force. My curiosity has increased and through the experience of being a student in a new creative area (photography and video) I am gaining a new
purpose in life, which is to inspire other people to follow their passion no matter what
age they are. The passionate pursuit of art, in my opinion, is the best antidote to the culture of war and death that surrounds us. Possibly the best way to live with health.

“You asked me what family is and I think of family as community, I think of the spaces where you don't have to shrink yourself. Where you don't have to pretend or to perform. You can fully show up and be vulnerable and in silence, completely empty and that's completely enough.” - Janet Mock
BONDS is an exploration of the connections I share with my biological family and my chosen family through the lens of fashion. This project bends editorial and lifestyle photography. My images showcase the importance of a support system that these familial structures provide.
Fashion and portrait photographer Nafisah Crumity explores the intersections of black culture, gender identity with a focus on femininity, and queer identities. Often expressed through the lens of fashion. Navigating the space in between and expressing them through their work.

I create work to communicate feelings or narratives with an audience. From my moody black-and-white fine art to my highly staged fashion images, I have a signature style that furthers the story. I create photos with surreal elements by being precise with my locations and strict color palettes while also pushing the boundaries of what a fashion photograph is.

I think of myself as other. Never gay enough, straight
enough, man enough. Always other than male or female. Unable
to be categorized. Something like The uncanny. The uncanny
is - in reality - nothing new or foreign. It’s a class of
terrifying that leads back to something long known to us,
something once familiar and old. Here I live, constantly
questioning the labels assigned to me in accordance with
others. The humans that pushed boundaries and explored facets
of conscious intelligence available. Artificial Intelligence
is here. The uncanny. Propelling the knowledge and boundaries
of human consciousness and intelligence. Humans are afraid
of what’s to come of humanity. Also unsure of whether they
can live in a world where binary and non-binary gendered
people live together. The uncanny. Identifying as non-binary
in a binary gendered world, the world that fearful humans
have made for themselves, the world I see as a constant
‘grey-area’. The grey area that exists between AI and art.

Be A Man

How are men allowed to express emotion? How do they let themselves be seen as emotional beings? I’ve been told to man up, be a man, and take it like a man. But what does that even mean? In my experience I’ve always struggled with understanding why it feels uncomfortable to be seen as vulnerable. In my family, I was only allowed to express my emotions openly when someone had died or I had been disciplined..If I cried or displayed that I was hurting in any other scenario, I was told that something was wrong with me. In no uncertain terms, I learned that vulnerability made me less of a man in their eyes. I decided to look clearly with my own eyes, to turn the camera on myself, and explore how I physically express deeply felt emotions. With this ongoing project, I've discovered that being openly emotional is necessary. It is an essential part of what makes me the kind of man I want to be..

I want to illustrate the absurdity of society's obsession with the virtual world. With our social media marketing campaigns our streaming services and our digital thermometers. Our electric ovens and LCD car dashboards and taxi cab apps and facetime therapy and video doorbells. My project serves as a visual document of our screen-dominated reality, showing the intersection of reality re-presentation, digital technology's role in isolation and distraction, and the traces of humanity left within these industries and technologies we’ve put in control.
"Future Shocked" invites viewers to re-examine the profound implications of these things in our pockets, offering a fly-on-the-wall perspective on reality and the evolving relationship between humanity and technology. It's a visual metaphor for the landscape of today: one full of screens and digital escapism.

My Thesis is a combination of documentary & abstract work. Thinking in an installation mindset. The core of my project involves synthesizing analog footage of faces to play on CRT TVs alongside smaller prints. Keeping loose ideas of Identity, Subcultures, Intimacy, and Experience. To remain visually cohesive, there will be a strong emphasis on sequencing and curation. I aim to create a multisensory experience that transcends traditional artistic boundaries. Embracing the complexities of human existence and inviting viewers to reflect on their own stories within the themes explored.
