five photos

“This set of photographs that I created across two sessions with model (and fellow USC undergraduate student) Emily Vainstein explores the human (especially female) form in relation to a natural and artificial environments. It challenges the perception of humans as separate from nature, and instead suggests that humans be viewed as an integral (if not benevolent) part of the environment, even as we record and alter it.”

Bryce Merrill is a senior at the University of Southern California, where he majors in Law, History, and Culture (pre-law) and conducts academic research on a variety of domestic social justice issues (such as incarceration and military spending). He is also an avid photographer and enjoys challenging perceptions and sharing his enthusiasm for the oft-unnoticed beauty that he believes pervades the world through images.
