Great work, any plans for more theatre behind the scenes projects in the future?

Sorry for the slow reply! Thanks for the message.Hopefully I should have a lot more theatre stuff soon! I work a lot with guys from the theatre scene here in Edinburgh, I'm currently shooting a lot of promo and marketing stuff for several companies, so I'm excited to see how it turns out!

Lost for Words, #3. Struggling with emotional loss.

Edinburgh, 2016.

Another photograph taken from my on-going personal project, seeking a way to express emotions that I’m finding impossible to articulate, following the breakdown of a long-term relationship that lasted most of my adult life.

Another picture in my current project, dealing with my inability to articulate the problems and issues in my life. The hand written caption reads: “I’m not depressed, I’ve just forgotten what it feels like to be happy.”
