I love being behind the camera sometimes; guiding people only with letting them know that I trust them, and to just show me who they are.

Some of my photos for DAMN! clothing

I get asked why I take self portraits. Photography teaches me about myself. It teaches me to look at myself from a different perspective. To look at life from a different perspective. It lets me be whoever I want to be for a split moment- that moment then captured for a lifetime. Self portraiture is not narcissism. It's wanting to discover yourself in a different light. In honour of embracing yourself and what you love doing, here's a simple self portrait.

I'm starting a new project based on people. Everyone has their own story, and I want to photograph people sharing those stories through their eyes, their facial expression, posture, gesture. I'm going to photograph strangers, friends, and anyone I may come across that allures me with their story. I started with myself. I hope you feel my story.
