I have began to mock up what I imagine my images to look like in a gallery space. For me, my strongest image at the moment is the centre one of scratching. The marks on my skin as well as the chipped nail varnish is not what we usually see when looking at portrait images. …

Reflection
After looking back over the work I have produced I felt that it wan’t very coherent, with a mix of video and photo as well of different styles of shooting. I felt like I was trying to do to many different things, and therefore decided to cut the videos down to just one instead of …
Test Photos
After recently visiting the doctors and being told I am showing signs of depersonalisation disorder I decided to photograph how it feels suffer from this. ‘Depersonalization disorder (DPD), also known as depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPDR), is a mental disorder in which the person has persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization or derealization.

Video Development
I shot some more footage of nature, which I feel has turned out a lot better than the first. In terms of quality I am a lot happier with the work, but also the way that each clips feeds into the next. The content is quite peaceful, with each plant swaying gently in the wind. …
