Emily Kopaskie

Photo by her father

 Candid intimate moments with a cinematic twist: Emily’s photos are a conversation. Fascinated by the personality of the world’s atmosphere and the characters it provides, she highlights a subtle melancholy like beauty through natural collaboration with a model and environment.

In her use of self-portraiture, Emily uses female character tropes as a visual tool to process her ever-evolving self-expression, relationship to the world, and the manifestation of how she perceives herself.
