The Looking In Project

March 25, 2020 Melina Coogan

NOTE: Since developing this project, my state issued a Shelter in Place Mandate. I am not an essential worker, so I will not be conducting this project or making these pictures until the mandate is over. Please, I BEG of you, and I BEG of other photographers: STAY HOME. This project will wait. I am still booking sessions, with clients who understand their portrait will come eventually.


The Looking In project:


Local friends, consider sharing. I’m equally as excited for this as I am in need of income.

Im a Documentary Family Photographer. Already, I search for the intimate, the raw, the slightly morbid and funny truths about family life. And now, I will do it from the outside, Looking In.

I’m approaching the #FrontPorchProject with my signature haunted spin. From 6 feet away I’ll make portraits of your family in your yard, the street in front of your home, or shooting in through a window when it’s darker out.

Your portrait will be stylized, intentionally dramatic, and part of a series with other Asheville families. Prepare to own a piece of history. #thelookinginproject

$49

3 portraits (and outtakes, if they’re funny)

Delivered in a digital gallery. Full resolution- blow this up big and put it on your wall.

Help this full time photographer pay her bills when she has zero income.

(Small print: my family and I are taking social distancing extremely seriously. I am currently on day 10 of a self-imposed quarantine. I would never come closer to you than 6 feet. If you kindly request I come inside I will turn you down. I have epic zoom lenses.)

I used to work under her! ✨One more ballot packed with votes for for sustainable development, public transit, affordable housing, universal healthcare and common sense gun laws (reproductive health, taxing billionaires, climate health, immigration reform...) for North Carolina!! #votedemocrat

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!! 🌈 Ever since we had Olive surgically extracted from my mid-section, every day has felt like a happy birthday. But today really is your birthday so I’m going to try and make it extra special, even though we’re all sick. You are so funny and I’m so in love with you. I thought you’d be a good dad, but I was so wrong. You’re an extraordinary dad. You’re the best.
