As a photographer specialising in fine art fantasy photography, I strongly believe in the importance of self-portraiture. In my own work, I have found self-portraiture to be an incredibly powerful and transformative tool for self-discovery and expression.
One of the key reasons why I believe self-portraiture is so important is that it allows us to explore and express our innermost thoughts and emotions in a safe and creative way. By becoming both the subject and the creator of our portraits, we can delve deeper into our own identity and explore different facets of ourselves that we may not have been aware of before.
When I take my own portraits it is almost like I can split myself into two parts. The part of me in front and the other part behind the camera and we fight each other to control the outcome. Despite having complete control over the situation I find this creative environment has been a battle ground for self discovery, pushing through personal limitations and challenging myself creatively.
I seek to explore themes of identity, femininity, and Romanticism, using colour, costume and composition to create a dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere.
