«Photography as an art form provides myriad means of visual storytelling. What prompted you to capture your own experiences and emotions from behind the camera lenses? How has self portraiture (by photographic means) aided in your self–discovery?
What inspired me to get into photography was seeing interesting self-portraits by other girls on a photo-sharing site. I picked up a camera and started practicing. At first I didn’t have any intention to produce something meaningful or to capture my emotions; I wanted simply to take some good images of myself and tried to find interesting places in which to do so. But then taking image after image, naturally I started capturing my emotions in photographs; it helped me cope with some things I was going through at the time – though it hadn’t at first been the intention. I think that’s what you find when you start doing artistic things, you may start off for fun, but the more you do, and the deeper you think about it, art starts having an effect on you and pushes you to think in ways you hadn’t perhaps expected.»
