What is a smile? What is in a smile? Why do people smile? How does smiling make you feel? We all know that smiling is something that makes one feel better, whether it be the person smiling or the person being smiled at. It’s really a win-win situation.
Everybody’s smile is unique and we each have our own things in life that make us smile, whether it’s big things or just the simple pleasures in life. This is what I wanted to capture in this project. I love photographing people so I wanted to create a theme that dealt with the joy and happiness that can be photographed with just simply a person’s smile.
I want you to look at these photos and feel the joy that radiates from the person’s smile because I honestly think smiling is contagious. Then when you look at the quotes of what makes that person smile, it might remind you of the simple things in life that can make us smile and you may even find yourself asking the question:
What makes me smile?
“You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.” -Charles Chaplin
So once again I ask: What makes you smile?
