Your images are amazing. Tell us a bit about your story and how you ended up specializing in conceptual photography?
| bought my first camera mid-2018, not long after I'd quit acting, and was looking for a new creative outlet. had very little experience with taking photos, but figured since I'd always been around cameras, I'd give it a go.
| began experimenting with different styles while figured out what fit. tried macro, landscape, portraits, but after a few months wasn't feeling passionate about it, and was almost ready to quit and try something else.
Thankfully, did some research and discovered the world of conceptual photography. was blown away by the storytelling aspect and creativity. never knew something like this existed but knew this was exactly the type of photography wanted and needed to be doing.
This was in September 2018, only a few months after buying my camera. immediately invested in Photoshop and started taking photos with the intention of compositing them into photographic art.
Would you be able to give us a bit of insight as to how you go about planning & taking your images, from coming up with the initial concept through to creating the final product?
