Self-Portrait (Series)
DESCRIPTION
My work is very personal and deals with themes of loneliness, nostalgia, anxiety & light. The main focus of my photography over the last 7 years has been self-portraiture. Starting out simply through curiosity, capturing self-portraits has become a major part of my life and work. It’s helped me overcome anxiety and fears over my own mortality, ensuring that a part of me will still be around after I am gone. Photography as a creative practice is very calming for me, and a great form of escapism. Light is integral to my work as I use it as a way of exposing and concealing myself, reflecting how I feel at the time of shooting it allows me to hide or come forward. Photography allows me to express myself in a way I never could achieve verbally.
