Photography project número deux!!!

Can you believe it, after all my initial fears I have now opted for photography in my first full 8 week module! After getting a first in my previous module, my confidence in lens based media has grown... I have also discovered that I thoroughly enjoy it!

For this project I want to do something personal in this project and strip my work back right to the beginning.... ME!!!!

Turning the camera back on myself I started to take photos of myself, this was quite hard for me as I have never liked photos of myself anyway, let alone taking them of myself with no makeup on for an audience!

I knew this was going to be difficult, but this again one of the reasons I wanted to do it, I have suffered with depression and anxiety for the last few years so wanted to try and vent and deal with some of the issues this has caused me.

Doing my degree alone was the first step, at 28 I was out of practice and my confidence to the floor.

Bringing my work back to me, I could start again from the beginning and grow as both a person and a artist......

I am an eye....
