My name is Jessica Cruz, and I am a rising senior at Lane Tech High School. I have been in the Darkroom Photography program at After School Matters for 4 sessions, and I am interested in portraiture and fashion photography. For my Artist Homage project, I created photographs to emulate the work of Micaiah Carter. I was inspired by his visual style with creative sets and wardrobe, and chose to explore similar themes through portraits of myself and friends.
