By spending time with those who were happy - truly happy, not acting happy - I learned that happiness wasn’t an unattainable fantasy, but rather derived from seeking it out. I sought it out and observed others doing what made them happiest, and through my unique lens, developed my own idea of happiness. This project is the culmination of those feelings - examining what makes people happy through a lens. This time, however, it’s the lens of photography.
