Friendship Ceremony

Corpsewood: Friendship Ceremony
This series was created at Corpsewood, a hauntingly beautiful location nestled in the North Georgia woods, where history, nature, and spirit seem to meet. The images were captured during a friendship ceremony held among friends, artists, and wanderers — a quiet, meaningful gathering honoring connection, vulnerability, and the sacredness of chosen family.

The project blends documentary and fine art photography, using soft light, earthy textures, and symbolic elements to evoke both the atmosphere of the place and the emotional resonance of the event. Some portraits are candid, others gently directed, all seeking to preserve the stillness and intention of the moment.

Corpsewood carries a layered past — one that lingers in every branch, stone, and breath of wind — and this project honors both its past and present through the lens of human connection. Whether it’s a glance shared between friends, a crown of flowers, or a hand resting in silence, these images explore what it means to be present, together, and alive in a space full of memory.
