As someone deeply invested in and inspired by other artists in various fields, my current practice has led to photographing creatives whose work often takes precedence over their own being. Having culminated in my exploration of dancers, who, by the very nature of their field, are usually looked upon solely for the dexterity of their bodies and the ways in which those bodies can perform. My work pares them back, peeling away the performative qualities that usually define them, to arrive at that moment of vulnerability where they are free to be themselves and arrive at a kind of unvarnished selfhood.
