“photography is the art of observation, it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them”
Elliot erwitt
Through the lens, photography has allowed me to see a different, mostly beautiful world. The art of photography and imagery is a very personal journey for me, how i interpret my environment is seen in my images. The beauty of the lens is that no two will see the same thing. I see this life as moments, seconds and parts of seconds strung together to make time. as a photographer i have the privilege of being able to capture some of these brief passages and as such i am able to tell the story of this place and these times through imagery. The best images I have seen evoked in me an element of emotion, that we have that power through camera and lens is humbling. the one thing that all my imagery contains is a component of me and that is what excites and encourages me, that the images presented here are exclusive to me.
PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH and in particular Men’s mental health was A SIGNIFICANT PART in the conception of this. THROUGH MY IMAGES AND POETRY I AM ABLE TO SHARE VERY PERSONAL elements OF MYSELF. I DO THIS AS A SELF HELP EXERCISE BUT ALSO IN AN ATTEMPT TO SHOW OTHERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING THAT they are not alone and that ASKING FOR HELP IS HEALTHY AND THAT IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK.
