Photographer Brjánn Batista Bettencourt


This image is from my series titled "Apartment Sessions" where I spend a prolonged period of time with someone hanging out in an apartment, in an attempt to capture mindsets and perspectives that reflect my coming of age experiences as a teenager. The series is both an exploration of my own teenage feelings and their meanings, but also an attempt for my subject to channel the essence of a person they've never met in hopes to create an authentic connection with me as I photograph them.
