When starting to get into photography at a young age I realized it was a good away to express my feelings and emotions, the passion started from there as I was not taken images for other people to understand but it was solely for myself to acknowledge how I felt at that moment of time. With my love of anything old school, I learnt about analog and darkroom photography and that sense of overseeing the whole process meant I could manipulate my images at the developing stage to be more fitting to the emotions attended for the photograph. The documentary photographer Nan Goldin had the biggest impact on my studies but also with my personal life, Nan would take images of her friends in the 70s/80s for her personal use, as she says in her book ‘the ballad of sexual dependency’ “the ballad of sexual dependency is the dairy I let people read. My written diaries are private; they form a close document of my world and allows me the distance to analyze. My visual diary is public; it expands from its subject basis with the input of other people” that comment has stuck with me through my studies and shaped the way perceive life.
