My work and life are one and the same. Neither follow movements or expectation but follow their own path informed by each previous step. All of my images have a feeling of having been sculpted from the shadows as I work my way, with few tools and light to an honest image. I am very interested in pared down natural beauty. I do not use titles for my work, as I want the viewer to have their own interpretation of the image. My journey is through my heart and what I learn along the way is presented to the viewer in emotional and raw spaces of the pictures .
These images were made using an old Polaroid land camera and 665 black and white Polaroid cartridge films which are no longer produced. They are then hand printed to the highest quality. This was a project based on the simple study of the female nude. I used only daylight and the Polaroid camera hand held. I wanted to capture the natural beauty of women in the simplest way.
