I am a visual storyteller working in photography to explore the emotional and psychological dimensions of human experience. Through both portraiture and abstraction, I construct narrative sequences that evoke mood, memory, and transformation. My approach emphasizes cohesion between images, aiming to distill the essence of a moment across a complementary set of frames. In 2024, I completed Photo Comics, a six-issue series for Elektryxx that merges short fiction, poetry, and visual metaphor to investigate themes of identity, perception, and emotional truth.
The concept of transformation or shifting from one form to another while unveiling a narrative or truth is embodied in the technique of double exposure on 35mm film. By layering still moments within a single frame, the work visually conveys emotional depth and reveals the underlying metaphor through composed contrast and motion within stillness.
These images are part of the forthcoming photo book called Metamorphosis.
