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 Fear: We are bound by each element we have overcome, wearing each lesson with pride and infinite hope. Once we understand our fears, we can choose to wear them with pride, rather than hide them deep within. The demise of fear means to crumble the notion that it isolates us, rather it does the opposite; uniting us all in our humanity and within ourselves.
