ARTISTS STATEMENT
I've always been interested in life drawing and nude modelling, but always too apprehensive or nervous to get involved. After struggling with body issues over the last year I decided it was finally time to own my body and start to love it! This shoot was the perfect chance to do that and I felt so empowered and free during and afterwards. As I kept taking photos I started to find a flow and started using little props like the flowers and experimenting with mirrors. I wanted to embody the expression and freedom I was feeling by not overthinking each picture - just pressing the button and capturing the moment and the feelings I was experiencing.

birthplace: Alice Springs, Australia
occupation: Student
age: 21
height: 169cm
starsign: Taurus
biggest passion in my life: I love creating art and writing, and inspiring others through my passion for this
I like to listen to: Music that makes me dance - Cat Empire and Nick Cave, and music that brings back memories/feelings
I like to watch: A LOT of TV. I love dark, mystery shows like Luther, The Affair and Broadchurch
I like to smell: The earth after rain, fresh jasmine and vanilla and the smell of dust on your skin after camping
I like to taste: New flavours and my own experiments in the kitchen. Asian food is my favourite
I like to feel: Snuggly by a campfire, curled up in a swag while I look at the stars. It makes me feel grounded
favourite part of my body: My lips. And on some days my bum - if it's looking good :P
favourite part of someone else's body: On males - cheeks or back. Females - collarbones
Why i shot myself: I love the idea of using my body to create and empowering myself at the same time
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: Donald Trump. I bet that answer's fairly popular at the moment
who I'd most like to see shoot themselves: I'd love to see one of my closest friends who is incredibly gorgeous and creative and deserves to be more confident with her beautiful body
my website/fav website: Hmmmm, my favourite website would probably be Pinterest. I find it so inspiring and I can spend hours on it
Most outrageous thing I have done: I stayed a week in Italy with a guy I had only met once before... we rented an apartment and everything. Looking back now I realise how wrong it could have gone but we had an incredible time
Bands I like: Cat Empire, Nick Cave, Paul Kelly, Cat Stevens, Dan Sultan
Books I like: Everything!! I will literally read anything I can, it's too hard to choose a favourite
