About
As a young fashion and portrait photographer who specialises in the studio, I focus my attention of empowering those beyond the lens. With the natural ability to create a welcoming and safe space for those involved, I bring out the confidence within everyone I photograph. My style focuses on blending fashion-forward aesthetics and authenticity, which results in imagery that is not only powerful but personal to me and my style. Whether I am working on editorial projects or collaborations or more personal, intimate projects my main focus is to empower and help those behind the camera see themselves in a new light. Based in Preston, Lancashire, I am continuing to build an extensive portfolio that includes all of the above and more. Celebrating those around me, collaborating and sharing ideas with other creatives is what makes my work so meaningful. My work is not only about storytelling and personal to me, it's also about bringing people together as a team to create something beautiful - together.
Project overview
Skin Deep
Skin Deep is a photographic exploration into femininity and its many forms. Rooted in the symbolism of flowers, Skin Deep creates visual blend between natures flora and the many faces of femininity. By using techniques of visual distortion: blurred reflections, light trails and refraction; these techniques create a barrier between the subject and the audience by discouraging them from critiquing the subject – much like how society often critiques women. The overpowering sense of nature within the imagery acts as a metaphor for society, highlighting how its harsh standards often dominate women, regardless of their identity. This project aims to amplify the voices of women through powerful imagery with an overarching sense of femininity and self-love. Each flower used within the project carries a deeper symbolic connotation, illuding to feelings of love, hope and purity. Skin Deep isn’t here to offer answers as to why women, or female presenting individuals, are so harshly critiqued based on their appearance. It’s here to spark questions amongst the audience. Who decides what is beautiful? Why do we compare ourselves to others? And is it just skin deep?
