THE RAW SELF

My creative journey began in 2012, quickly discovering self portrait photography as a way to express feelings I could not put into words.

Self portraits are the most personal and meaningful part of my photo work. Full of emotion, they speak silent tales of my deep love for being alive.

Alone in front of my camera is where I can fully embrace vulnerability and healing through art.

HUMAN MEETS NATURE

A consistent theme in my photography is a feeling of deep appreciation for our natural surroundings.

When taking self portraits, time stops for a moment.

I fully arrive in the moment. Running barefoot in the mountains. Feeling the wind in my hair. The wet grass under my feet. Taking a deep breath.

This is what it feels to be alive.

Photography lets me appreciate nature. Notice all the little details. And delve into a deep sense of wonder.

What is self portrait photography?

Self portrait photography is a unique genre where the photographer also becomes the subject, an undisturbed exploration and expression of the self.

With the help of a tripod and self-timer, no second person is needed to create images that express the photographer’s creative vision. Self portraiture is an intentional artistic expression – so much more than just a selfie.
