I have always seen the world in an architectural way where objects, body parts, and colors become shapes and forms. I use the photographic medium to visually join my body with an environment. I am inspired by places I have never been to because I love exploration and experimentation. In fact, a huge part of my inspiration for some of my selfportraiture comes from not looking through the viewfinder. A great deal of the time, creating selfportraits involves having trust in my camera and being excited by the element of surprise.
I use unusual angles and perspectives to alter perceptions of reality because I want to break the mold of typical portrait expectations. When I take selfportraits from the ground looking upwards, I search for only the most visually compelling surroundings overhead. I have found that organic and natural looking environments are the most exciting to photograph myself in because I become part of the world around me.
