Ottawa, Canada
Biography:
After returning from a tour in Afghanistan in 2007 I purchased my first camera and it sat untouched for 6 months. It was only after I took my first self portrait that I was able to imagine all of the possibilities of what could be done with the camera and even my creativity. After successfully completing a 365 challenge I realized how much better I had come to know myself. Not only had my photography skills improved but the taking of the self portraits was having a healing effect after my experience in Afghanistan. I have found the best way for me to express how I am feeling is to take a self portrait and try to convey that feeling into the photograph. Two years after that first self portrait I was able to say with confidence that I am a self portrait artist. Being a self portrait artist is not something that everyone understands but it is a label I am happy and proud to call myself.
