Anastasia Samoylova is a photographer based in Miami, Florida. Her FloodZone photo-series is still an on-going, in which it is shot at her home environment in Miami Beach. What had inspired her to make this series was a category 4 hurricane that hit her area in 2017. The destruction, flooding, and rising of sea-levels are subjects that the photographer hits in her series. It mention in the interview with Anastasia that Florida is known for these situations happening all the time, but there is a lack of preparation when these hurricanes hit, resulting in the same problems occurring often. Through the photos, you can get a sense of the impact that the hurricane had done to the area.

Sue Palmer Stone was born and raised in Connecticut. Stone would start using photography as a medium in 2012, where she studied photography at Silvermine Art School. From 2012 to 2012, she participated in Sandi Haber Fifield’s photography workshops, which were in Connecticut and New York. Stone's photo-series Embodiment : Salvaging a Self is a creative photo/sculpture series that focuses on themes of fragility, loss, and a sense of playfulness. Throughout the pieces that Stone creates, you are able to see a bunch of different litter being used to create a sense of abstraction of a self; something more open, more universal. I thought this idea of the series is similar to what I am doing for the project, which is using trash to create objects/actions out of trash that I use or pick up from outside.
