There are times when all I want to do is kill people and destroy things.
Anonymous asked: Do you have a muse? Your work seems to be very mundane and void of personality / story.
I do not have a muse, all my work is based usually on personal stories/mental states.
For example, The Citalopram Series, which can be found here , is about the way my mind was working when I was first diagnosed with depression. Lace Pain is a story which goes from initial thoughts of pain, being naked and unable to see more than the dark, negativity and hate that surrounded my life.
Progressing into stage two, named Realization, is the point at which I realized I needed help, that I had something chemically wrong with me, it was this point of realization that caused my stagnant state to change, as if an item which had been sat for 20 years suddenly moved and altered, leaving a trail of dust.
Part three, named Day Zero, was the first day of the rest of my life, the day I took the first Citalopram pill. Colour started to return to my life, to start in basic ways, still leaving a small amount of darkness lingering in my vision and heart, though the veil which had covered me in the past was no gone and I started to evolve.
I hope this lets you into my mind a small amount and lets you understand that my work has more personal meaning to me than I am willing to tell the general public, though if anybody is ever curious then please feel free to message me.
Anonymous asked: are you gay?
No I am a completely straight male.
This is a question which is often asked of me due to the nature of the profession I am in, a knowledge of Fashion, Makeup and hair tends to lean towards homosexuals (not stereotyping) though I am in love with the art of it all.
Assistant wanted!
I have a shoot with some amazing people on the 12th and I am looking for an assistant, preferably a photography student of some kind with basic knowledge of studio lighting and is okay with being told what to do.
This will give an opportunity to see images being created at a professional level, with a pro makeup artist, wonderful model and will even go through the final images to show what I personally look for in a shot.
The shoot will be located in Paignton, Devon.
Anybody who is interested please feel free to inbox me.
Thanks,
Ryan.
