ARTISTS STATEMENT
I'm grateful to have been brought up in a family where nudity was a comfortable and normal thing. Once on a family holiday, we proudly boasted three generations of nudity on the one beach! At 32, my body's not what it was at 18. I take medication which causes me to put on weight, and I'm okay with that. I've always been creative, but I'm new to photography, so this project is quite novel and exciting.

other random stuff: I was lucky enough to be able to shoot the bulk of my folio at a really cool location. I was on a road trip with my boyfriend and we happened upon an abandoned building complex that used to be a "home for wayward boys", which I guess is quite appropriate, due to my own extensive experience with wayward boys. The best places to shoot were on one of the upper balconies, and a weird room we found that had no door handle on the inside, and which locked from the outside... The carpet was bright orange, and the colour looks amazing in the photos.
