It has never been more important to exist in portraits and is the reason why I paint and love photography.
After losing my mum to cancer suddenly in 2012, I worked on a tribute video of her life and was shocked by the lack of images I had of myself with her and of her alone. My photography practice became more important than ever and went from passion to career as I felt the need to be a part of creating something special to cherish for others.
We never know when we will lose those we care for so please, exist in portraits. For you, for those you love.
