To this Official Proud to say they’re all mine shirt the kind of photography that I enjoy most, the genre that gives me the most purpose (and satisfaction) also continues to provide me with healthy shifts in perspective, looking through different lenses, seeing and framing the world in a particular way that enables me to focus better internally as well as externally. Photography has been a visual means to non verbal communication, when words were not enough, or too much for that matter. it became a means to self expression, reflection and contemplation especially when dealing with issues like depression and anxiety, which are so often hindered by stigma. The act of photography making and the countless hours spent editing opened up a connection to my subconscious mind, helping me to discover powerful personal insights about the causes behind my struggles with depression.
