Introduction	I am a Fine Art student studying at Kingston University. Most of my work explores the themes of youth, vulnerability, beauty and human behaviour. I like to take close up photographs and draw and paint in very much the same way, cutting the viewer off from knowledge of exactly who that person is, but trying to reveal their beauty and identity at the same time. I like to expose my subjects to something they might not have seen in themselves before, and gaining the trust and bond with that person is often part of the process. I don't like to tie myself down to one medium but at the moment I am focusing mainly on photography and drawing as a way of communicating my ideas. Not everybody makes a good subject but confidence and aura is always something that draws me to a person that I want to use in my work. Sometimes it might be somebody I know and love, other times it may be an image in a book or magazine but it is always for the same reasons. If you like any of my work and have any feedback I would love to hear from you, if not enjoy my blog and I hope you can get some inspiration out of it!
