Photography has always been a passion of mine, even when I was a small child. Photography is my way of being able to tell a story to my audience through the use of narrative pieces, whether these stories be made of up themes that are personal, fictional or even sometimes political. Photography gives you the ability to be who you want to be and to say what you want to say without having to put it into words. As an artist I would best describe my work as meaningful; how can you expect your audience to have a connection with your work if the work that you have created means nothing to you as the artist that imagined, designed and created it. Within every project that I undertake and every photo I ‘create’ I always fully give myself to the project, so that we become as one, so that I am able to tell the story as fully and as truthfully as possible. My main aim in every piece of work that I create is for someone to look at the work and feel a connection to it in the same way that I do. I often find myself connecting with themes such as mental health; more specifically anxiety and depression, something that is very personal to me, and often interlinking it in some way with nature, and using it as a narrative within my work. Nature is often an area that I use as a form of escapism from the harsh reality that we live in, being able to create a world that allows you to feel more at ease.
