I remember being a 4 year old, walking around our home, while staring down into a mirror that reflected the ceiling above me. It was a fascinating way to see the world, a different perspective, that often led to a few bruises. Noticing that I may cause real harm, my grandmother gave me an old camera to peer through instead. This led to a fascination with our family photo albums, there was magic there.

A couple of years later, I climbed a chair to rumage through my grandfather’s dresser. There I found a Playboy magazine from the mid-sixites. There was something compelling about the images. Nudity being presented in such as straight-forward way seemed out of place for the world I lived in but at the same time seemed completely natural, human. My work often centres around non-sexualized nudity as a way to see the human form from a different perspective then shown in the media.

For me, photography has always been about perspective. Seeking to understand your subject, framing the moment, casting light. Photography becomes a metaphor for how we share this planet and offers insights into how we can better understand each other.

We each have a unique story and point of view. I believe that when we aim to understand each others stories, while sharing our own, we are at our best.
