Mei Tao (@taomeitao) directs and photographs a new personal project, “Home Coming”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Set in Utah, Mei Tao captures longtime friend and muse Hannah, in the place she grew up. The series is an intimate portrait of stillness, strength, and belonging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I wanted to bear witness to her beauty, her strength, her grace, her ease as it was glowing in Utah. This woman saying, I am at home here.” —Mei Tao ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shot across stills and film with a small, dedicated team, the work is guided by instinct and shaped by the deep trust between subject and photographer. Mei was fortunate to gather 4 teammates who would contribute their talent and care filming with her. She worked closely with her DOP to develop the visual direction outlined in the script. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #meitao #director #photogapher #homecoming #utah #personalproject
