A deeper, emotional look into Greek mythology

Ever since I was little I have been entranced by mythology. As someone who is Greek it’s no wonder I felt most closely with Greek Mythology. For this project I discussed in detail with the models which Deity they felt most connected with. I wanted them to fully embody the character. Through this project I have basically transformed my backyard into Mount Olympus as the models and I bring these myths to life. This project has been done on both film and digital as i experiment with the different feelings attached to them and how they can each bring out something different for the characters.
