Grown Out Of It

Self portraiture is a way for me to find empowerment within myself, transforming into a plethora of diverse characters to showcase a personal spectrum of growth. Where once I would hide from what dwelled inside of me, photography acted as that release that freed those delicate vulnerabilities. An early diagnosis of a mild form of Autism has inspired my longing to understand how it is apart of my everyday life, growing and learning as I unravel a more hidden part of myself.

Opting to portray surrealist emotions through a matching style, my work achieves this by capturing a harmony of mediums; embracing my fashion and theatre backgrounds within my work.

I hope to bring fantasy into our everyday lives, seeing magic in even the mundane. this juxtaposition inspires a style that has been recently featured in the magazine ‘Practical Photography.’ The work I create has also been used for personal benefit, as well as independent print sales and for companies, such as a collaboration with Panasonic.

A part of my 'our beautiful demise' series. 

The Demise of Consistency: The people in our lives move on- causing our shedding skin to shift in new ways. We must grow out of the toxic mindset, holding us back. Instead, offer ourselves the choice to grow into our new, infinite self. We may hide back into this past skin, getting a dark nostalgic relapse of our history, but it is our choice from this: to dwell or flourish that decides our fate
