Omar Pedroza is a freshman photography major and has been working on a surreal self portrait project for his class Visual Storytelling: Photo Essay. On April 27, he shot one of his images from this series at the Railyard district of Santa Fe. This image portrays Pedroza floating away as passerby observe. His work deals with self identity and his exploration of understanding everything about photography—from techniques to its conceptual aspects.
