Summary of where my work is at now

This body of has moved away from the concept and become more about the dance and immersing ones self in the photographs, the experience and the journey. 
This stemmed from the use of free lensing, I looked at how the camera was mirroring the dancer, it was as if the camera and photographer were also dancing as they moved in response to the dancer to create the best possible image. 
I feel these images say more about how a person is taken on a journey through images, how empathy is created and how people react to the images.


This body of work is still an exploration of the selfie and how people present them selves on social media but that is no longer the key focus of my work.

The use of the fee lensing is an example of how people distort who they are when creating an online presence and how they specifically focus on elements of their lives that they want to share.
The idea of the dance connotes how people get swept up using social media, they dont realise how much of them selves they have made available on line and how they will be viewed. the seep and intensity of the tap dance reflects how quickly people get caught up in using social media and conform to what is normal with out stopping to question.
