Now that I had my topic, I needed to find a professor willing to work with me and a band willing to let me document them.

At first, I thought I had to work with a professor that I know or had been in class with before. Since I have only had two classes in which we practiced photography, (intro and documentary), I decided to try and work with my documentary photography professor. Long story short, she wasn't able to work with me so I contacted Professor Antonio Bogaert. He already had two students but agreed to meet with me and talk about my project.

I am so grateful to be working with him. Our first meeting was awesome and gave me lots of hope and encouragement surrounding my project. He gave me the freedom I needed to move forward in searching for a band to document.
