Loss Of Innocence
My photographic inspiration lies in many genres of photography from high fashion to industrial and commercial work. The narrative series show individual approaches to themes that have a personal resonance. I hold a strong passion to photography and wish to develop this further in my career. Story telling plays an important role in my work, the concept of capturing the viewer's imagination is something that is key to my ideas. This project involves capturing the transitional period between childhood and adulthood that is experienced by everyone in different ways. This formative stage of adolescence is challenging as many children in today's society are obsessed with growing up. The work that I present conceptualises the loss of innocence apparent in our culture and explores the more surreal and sinister aspects of the theme. Applying uneasy visual language throughout the series allows the resulting perceptual triggers to provoke a variety of reactions.
