About The project

This project had the goal of showing the eerie desolate feels of various characters while walking late at night.

The title 3a.m. is referencing the witching hour which is a time in which supernatural beings become most active and powerful. I wanted this series to show the eerie feeling of unknown figures in the night and the fear they cause.

About The project

This project had the goal of presenting the idea of the masks we all 'hide' behind to get through our lives.

The style of the shoot was a dramatisation of classic black and white film to bring drama to each scene.
