Starting off the new instagram year with portraits of my lovely friend Martina (maybe they were shot in January a year ago, but that’s exactly how beautifully synchronised we are, leaving it for a year for the time to feel right) And the time is right now! Thank you for your honest friendship @marrrrrrtina__
Film processing @labyrinth_cos
one of my favorite outtakes from the Pond series created in collaboration with @willhazell and @xtine_sparkles_emoji
featuring Xtine wearing some of her crafted garments, standing on Willow’s bed with their camera, the painting on the background is made by @marymackenallen (Mary has a show coming up in a couple of weeks and I highly recommend coming along)
This image was a bit of an impromptu one with only three of us around in the early morning hours back in January, before the rest of the team arrived.
hello. It’s been a while since I’ve posted last.
Usually photography has been a refuge for me in any turbulent circumstances. But for the last half a year I felt the polar opposite, couldn’t bring myself to do any personal work or editing or printing. Two days ago it marked 6 month since I suddenly and tragically lost my dad. I don’t think I have processed anything yet but got good at masking things and taking life one day at a time. I’ve also redirected my attention to set design and set dressing and only took paid photography gigs.
This morning, however, I really felt the want to look through the rolls of film from last October in Chile, where we celebrated the love of my dear friends, Geo and Vale.
I was surrounded by my chosen family, met and made new friends, felt joy and freedom. I guess I felt ashamed to feel it deeply in the months of grief so it was hard to look at the images I took.
Anyway. I’m gonna share some now.
This image was taken at the village high up in the mountains where we spent a week or so.
I would usually sit by the pool and play with the dog while Julia and Victor made lunch
My final project for the CSM MA degree show, ‘Black Hole,’ featured builder’s foam, various balls, and fishing wire, shot on #KodakPortra800 with a #Pentax67ii. I was focused on “in front of the lens” installations then and am considering circling back to that more in my current work.
