Self Portraits:
(2015 - Present)
Self Portraiture has always been more than just capturing a snap of my face. It can be a place whereby inner feelings emerge even if unintentionally expressed, pain, depression and suicidal feelings express themselves in one shot.
In earlier work, it's been more about distortion and creating a dark mood.
In the most recent, I've stripped the distortion away using light beams and long exposure to create an intense feeling and use light to help the imagery become more eye-catching.
The Guardians of Heaven are one with nature.
Feeling like the wicker man where the fire burns away ghosts of the past.
Sometimes you just need a release.
When light and dark collide. Cleansing your soul to start anew.
When your poor and only have clean film to use as a prop. Then become a magical nymph :)
I close my eyes and cry tears in the silence of my mind.
What you see on the outside, doesn't always reflect what's inside.
