Portrait nominee

I currently interested in human emotions, psychology and the different layers of the human psyche. Every person has a shadow side (cf. Carl Jung) and your 'other self' or alter ego can be a friend or foe. While looking at a person their expression gives an impression of how they feel, but at the same time on the inside their real mental state could be different or even the opposite of what shows. I this image I have tried to depict the ambiguity in human expression, the alter ego or shadow self.

I am an amateur photographer based in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Next to making music, photography has always been one of my passions. I studied Photographic Design for 2 years at the Dutch Academy for Image Creation (https://navb.nl/). I aim not to only create pleasing images, but also hope to stimlate thinking on societal issues. My current interests concentrate on the human imprint on the environment, alternative realities and perceptions, life events and the human psyche and emotional states. A number of my works have been exhited at an Art Gallery in The Bilt, Netherlands (http://www.galeriegaius.nl/kunstwerken/) in 2019.
