Self Portraits: A Series in Movement

Kodak Tri X 400 on Nikon F5

What started off as merely experimenting and pushing myself out of my comfort zone has blossomed into a series capturing movement in still frames. Recently this series has played an important roll in coping with my mental health. It has been a wonderful outlet to release emotion; there is something empowering about creating movements in front of a camera. Instead of feeding into my depression, I have been aiming to use it to fuel creation.

This spring I was invited by the fabulous Shannon to a group shoot in Hartford and by some miracle, I found last minute shift coverage at work so I could attend. I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with some talented and empowering women including Colleen. She is not only a wonderful model, but very gifted photographer as well. Despite the initial hiccup of being locked outside the Airbnb, we all absolutely made the most of this location with the time we had. It was an excellent time with such a welcoming and lovely group of ladies. Colleen was a joy to collaborate with, and I hope to shoot with her again!
