Summer Portfolio: Jacob Haupt

Jacob Haupt's photo series, Gloom, addresses the difficulty in telling someone that you are having a hard time, or that you are sad. These conversations usually require someone to present their situation in a comical manner so that they can disarm the overwhelming task of saying, “I am sad.” Jacob poses as batman for the photos, which are shot straightforward or layered in photoshop. The series consists of 30 images and was released as a book which can be purchased at https://actualsource.org/products/gloom. See more of Jacob's work here.
