I developed photography as a hobby as I was finishing my Master’s dissertation. It has always been a great passion of mine and with free time on my hands, I kick-started my affair with photography. My photos comprise mostly of self-portraits and they portray my emotions at a given moment. It has always been about my emotions.
I prefer portraits to landscape photography as I found it to be of a very different and possibly higher level that made it difficult for me to get into. I find it easier to express emotions with portraits and harder to ooze emotions out of a landscape.
It is also hard to find models for portrait shots, and I usually resort to taking self-portraits which has now developed into a trait of mine.
The photographs portray different sides of me but are all me in different states- some are not what everybody gets to see and some are what I choose not to show everybody in my day to day life. When asked about my particular confidence in myself when it comes to taking photos, I explain that like everyone else, I am not confident with all my features. I am simply more comfortable having my photos taken by myself than some other photographers. I am not too sure how I look in real life, only the observers can really tell. I only get to see myself in photographs and when I look in the mirror.
I am just like everyone else- when I am having a good hair day I am satisfied with how I look.
For composition and aesthetic reasons, I crop the photographs and the result is a singular part of my body. When I do shoot particular parts of my body my intention is to portray the beauty of being a woman.
