The Saints Project is a photo series of Catholic saints portrayed by everyday people bringing focus to the true role models of our world.
-THE COMMUNITY: The Saints Project aims to involve the community by using “average” people in its portrayals. Unlike paintings or self portraiture, The Saints Project calls people to stand in the shoes of a real Saint. To create unity during the creative process but also to bring us into communion with the saints.
-THE STYLE: The visual intent is to create images in a style that is both modern and traditional. The Saints Project uses current photography and photoshop techniques, but also borrows stylistically from the sacred artists of the past to create a refreshing new take on beloved figures of our faith.
-THE CALLING: The Saints Project calls us to not only strive for sainthood by the guidance from the saints, but also to diligently seek out our unique and specific calling designed by God just for us. Each saints mission was created for them and could only be fulfilled by them, given their talents, passions and personality they sought to glorify God by being themselves. We are no different.
