Final Project - Jaiden Jensen

The photographs I used for this series all come from my hometown. For Tooele, they are all iconic sighs including the view of the Great Salt Lake. Tooele is a small town just wet of Salt Lake City, and doesn't get enough credit for the things it has to offer. From the high school, to the haunted hotel, these are the things that make Tooele. I wanted to capture that Tooele is very diverse and as you can see, some parts are wealthy, and some are poor. Welcome to Tooele!

Usually in photography, shadows are seen as a menace. They are seen as a distraction from the original subject. For this series, I decided to focus on the shadows. I focused on the compelling shapes cast by the shadows. I see shadows as something beautiful and interesting. A quote I have always loved is, “We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand.” I love this quote because I truly believe that we have an influence on everything that we come in contact with. In this series of photographs, I tried to capture that important belief.

Permanent Ink

Two years ago I made plans to get my first tattoo and have 

been fascinated by the world of permanent ink ever since.

I went to the 15th Annual Salt Lake City International Tattoo

Convention to document the culture and finally get my first 

tattoo. While taking pictures of people's tattoos, I wanted to

 capture more than just their ink. I hoped to capture the awe 

I felt entering this place, and the meaning behind each tattoo.

Making something a permanent part of yourself is no small 

 thing, and while taking these pictures, I was able to learn the 

stories behind the many tattoos covering these people.

"My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story."
