"I don't want to be photographed!"
It's something that I hear quite often and I want to talk about it for a bit.
Because more often than not, this is a story we tell ourselves over and over and over again. We don't want to be photographed because we are collectively & endlessly told that we aren't pretty enough. Not thin enough. Not palatable enough for 'consumption'. Not... The list goes on.
With my photography I want to challenge that view. Because first of all, my photographs aren't first and foremost made for the world to see. They are for you.
When I'm at a festival, like at WILD WOMAN FEST - Remember what is sacred with the attached photographs, this is something that I always try to make clear straight away. Yes, I am hired by the organisers, but I am there for a much bigger reason.
My photography is there to capture anyone in a moment of breakthrough. A moment of deep process. A moment of pure joy. A moment that you might forget in the grand scheme of things of your day to day life, but that has unexpected great importance.
A moment that when the whole world has gone to smithereens and you're doomscrolling on your phone will pull you through when that photo pops up. That is why I do what I do.
My photo's aren't about being pretty. They aren't about being perfect. They aren't about fitting in. They are about you reminding yourself of the magic that is inside of you in those moments you need that reminder the most.
