‘‘Boys On Beauty’’
‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ is a statement that a majority of people believe and it is a very accurate explanation of beauty. I have always been interested in people’s views on beauty, how they view themselves and where they think they fit in society. I decided to ask a group of different men on their views because I haven’t heard their voice on this subject, I feel like this subject is led more towards women and I wanted to find out their thoughts for myself. In this video you will see different opinions, assumptions they have often come across about themselves and what they consider to be beautiful.
‘Queen and Slim’ BTS Video
Queen and Slim had just came out in the cinemas and I had the privilege to create a behind the scenes video from a shoot inspired by the film. In this video my aim was to show you the parts you don’t see in a photo shoot, the outfit changes, hair and makeup, different locations and ideas forming in a team.
Queen and Slim was such a great movie and it was an honour to be apart of that world for a moment.
COVID -19
During this Pandemic it has been hard to stay creative, having to stay in the house all day.
Knowing that there were some accessions such as exercise and going out for a walk, I decided to go for a walk with my camera.
Documentary Photography isn’t normally my aesthetic but I had no choice in this pandemic. Seeing empty streets, shops shut and hardly any vehicles on the road was so peaceful yet so crazy.
This is a moment in history and I needed it to be documented.
‘ONE ACCORD’
Throughout this video my aim was to show the unity of the church community, for something that is not conventionally highlighted in the media I wanted to explain the environment. Creating this work took place during the global pandemic and I had no access to people around me so I had to use the footage I had.
In this video it includes spoken word, videos of how worshipping God through song and also how we as a community interact with one another. The pandemic did not hinder my initial idea because the church is more than the building but the people, that is also spoken about in this film.
