Exploring and inhabiting the skin of characters

I bring imagined characters to life by incorporating makeup, setting, and styling to tell a visual story .

Character Studies

Objective:

Utilizing photography as a visual brainstorming tool to map out particular characters, by emphasizing their looks, postures, and expressions.

My work often exaggerates clothing, body language, and mood, utilizing props to tell a highly specific, fictional story.

Inspiration:

Cindy Sherman, an American photographer, whose work primarily consists of self-portraits, is one of my greatest influences.

She is well known for her conceptual art, where she depicts herself in various contexts and many different imagined characters.

“I’m really just using the mirror to summon something I don’t even know until I see it.”

- Cindy Sherman
