Portefeuille, 2021
My project Portefeuille is the start of a portfolio which includes Portrait, Still Life and Travel Photography. I chose to create a portfolio as I often find myself having trouble with boxes and restrictive definitions. I wanted to allow myself to explore all that I am and all that I am capable of.
In this body of work I emphasise my products, subjects and their stories through the use of location, colour, light and composition that aim to contribute to creating seductive atmospheres. I focus on creating non-traditional portraits that do not consist of overly-staged moments, unnatural poses nor over-the-top props; just my subject and the realness of that moment.
Ultimately, my goal is to show the beauty and depth of the world and its people.
