As a self-portrait artist, I not only photograph myself, but I also become the character that I want to be in my images. My work shows a lot of darkness, and sadness, however, I only see beauty. It is my way of expressing myself. It is my way of conquering my insecurities and my fears. In the moment of the shoot, I become someone else, and I have full control of everything, including those dark feelings.
My studio location is my home, for now at least, and my process in creating is simple. I set up my backdrop, my studio lighting, my camera, and I get to work! I usually have my ideas sketched out beforehand, but the odd time, I will have an idea just pop in my head. I finish off the rest in Photoshop, with a coffee or glass of wine in hand. Depending the mood!
