Are you brave enough to meet your inner warrior, integrate your true self and shine your light into the darkness?
A photograph holds real power. With the right light, mood, setting and atmosphere, a portrait photograph will far outlive both the model and photographer. A photograph is not simply for posting online to reap the rewards of cheap dopamine in the form of likes. A photographs gives a person the opportunity to tell a personal and powerful story of themselves. It is through photography and writing, that we, as humans, have the power to carry forth the wisdom that we accrue through this life.
We are facing something of a crisis in this world currently. So many people are feeling lost and confused, struggling to really know themselves. Men are all too often afraid to embrace their anger, fearful that they might be labelled as ‘toxic’ and out of control. Women, too, are afraid to channel their feelings of anger and have been repressed and controlled for generations. An angry woman is, perhaps, seen as hormonal and is ‘too much’ for most men who harness too much desire for control. We are living in a cycle of repression, which, in turn, results in dangerous expression of these potent emotions. A true warrior has met his or her darkness head on, and has learnt to tame the anger that he or she naturally feels.
“I believe that a great photograph in any genre requires the photographer to have deep empathy and understanding. It is particularly important when taking photographs of nature and the landscape, which is where I began, that the photographer can become the landscape itself for a moment. I also believe the same to be true if the artist then wishes to create a compelling and meaningful portrait of a model. It is my own deep empathy and understanding, I believe, that has led to my success within the field of landscape and nature photography, and I bring the same gifts to my work as a portrait photographer. My own openness vulnerability is what allows the model to be open, and it is the most open and vulnerable photographs, I feel, that are the most powerful.”
