My work is exploring themes of identity, self discovery, and of emotional reflection through my photography and film. I am using image making as a way to understand not only who I am as an artist but who I am becoming as a person. My work sometimes exists in quiet, still environments, where the feelings of sadness, doubt and often imposter syndrome are present but also is growth. The reason I make photographs is to turn my experiences into a visual narrative that is cinematic, and rooted in quick moments of my life. I rely heavily on natural light as my primary source because it feels honest and uncontrolled. I am also drawn to low light and shadows because I see them as tools to help me create depth and emotion in my work. I warm my images to create a soft natural tone that creates a cinematic feel. I use self portraiture photography to hold up a mirror to myself to help me fight my anxiety and imposter syndrome. That's why close ups are dear to my work because they invoke emotion directly, while medium-close up allows both distance and vulnerability. I created this work to build a unified world between photography and film. My goal is to connect all these mediums into one voice, my voice through my art.
