ARTIST STATEMENT: From a young age I have been inspired by mythology and fantasy worlds and wanted to re-create those worlds through my rediscovered love of portraiture in studio photography. Due to the pandemic, I have spent a lot of time inside like everyone else and had my fair share of escapism through the media I consumed which I always allow to inspire me to create my own content. I shot all my self-portraits in various spots in the confines of my small dorm, my camera being the portal to allow me to travel through time and different worlds. This is a showcase of both my skills in the studio and my editing skills in Photoshop. For these images I used a variety of studio techniques and equipment, including studio lights, external and on-camera flashes, as well as a variety of costumes and props.
