ARTISTS STATEMENT
I've always been comfortable with my naked body and nakedness in general. I started life modelling many years ago and it was the start of my modelling journey. While career modelling has it's downsides I always liked the chance for me to embrace the creative side of being in front of a lens; I can use my body to make art and there are no rules or wrong answers. I love dressing up and "putting on a costume", whether it's how I choose to do my makeup or what I wear to a shoot. It's rare I take my own photos so today I chose to shoot something silly, playful and a little bit cheesy. Shoots I've done have been crazy, shooting at 5am naked in Regent's canal in the snow, naked urbex exploration all around the UK and Europe and recently a week long shoot in Fuerteventura (I'll be flying to Spain in April for another art nude shoot). I'm so used to being naked now it feels strange to put clothes on! I'm going forward embracing my natural body and loving it's uniqueness, and hope to keep taking photos and celebrating life. Is that not what taking selfies should be all about?
