Casting for Life in Fiction
For this series, I spent months auditioning actors to play my family. I dressed them in their clothes from my childhood, bought and styled wigs based on their hair from that time and adorned them in period jewelry and props. I then asked each actor to pose based on the brief character analysis I provided. Never at any point did the actors know they were performing as my family.
