I began an exploratory and experimental journey with my camera based on my interests in idea that the camera is seen as a tool of power. A tool that allows the person behind it to violate those who stand before it. It only made sense to me that I use this new found fascination and put it towards setting the beginning foundations for a project of this investigation. When I started to produce images I watched as my relationship with the subject both in front of the camera and behind it had changed. It became one of a more intimate relationship and the initial violence of my presence armed with a camera had begun to subside. I found myself feeling more passionate about the natural progression of where the relationship between the subject and I developed on the camera.
