Unchanging State by Kyle Thompson

Kyle Thompson was born in Chicago on January 11th, 1992. He began taking photographs at the age of nineteen after finding interest in nearby abandoned houses. His work is mostly composed of self portraits, often taking place in empty forests and abandoned homes. His work encapsulates the ephemeral narrative, a nonexistent story line that only lives for a split moment.  These images show the collapse of narrative, as there is no defined story line with a beginning and end; instead, these images create a loop.  This fleeting moment lives on in a constant unchanging state.  By diverting the view of the face, the images become more ambiguous, the viewer is no longer able to tie a defined story line to the image.

A Poetic Experience by Angelika Ejtel

I consider my photographic creation as a poetic experience in which I drown myself, dissolve myself and, as a result, it gives me the feeling that I’m reborn with each portrait into a new being. My attitude towards the self is more of an exploratory journey between an awareness of self and an unawareness of some aspects of self. Angelika Ejtel

A Turning Point by Bella Kotak

I am a photographer and architect based in Oxford / London, England. I’ve always loved telling stories and knew from a young age that I would work within the creative industry. A few years ago armed with a small point and shoot camera and Photoshop I began a 365 self portraiture project. It was a turning point in my life. Finally I’d discovered a medium that just made sense to me. In the past few years I’ve pursued photography with a passion and am constantly striving to improve my skill set.  Bella Kotak

My Only Escape by Kirsty Mitchell

“My earliest memories were always of the stories read to me by my mother as a child … how it felt to be curled into her side, listening to the rush of her breath as she paused for effect, before launching into yet another characters voice… Tragically my mother was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and my world fell apart. Photography became my only escape when I could no longer talk about how I felt. I lost myself in street portraiture, focusing on those who reflected my own sadness and loss. I later turned the camera inwards, and began photographing myself throughout the hardest year of my life. It became an utter fantasy that blocked out the real world, and a place where I could return to my memories of her, far away from those hospitals walls.” Kirsty Mitchell.

I’m Really Rather Simple by Kate Kinley

“I don’t like showing people who actually know me my photography…so after a lot of thought I figured that the next best thing would be to share it with complete and utter strangers. I absolutely love photography but I am aware that I’m not very good yet, so any critiques are welcome. As for my passions… they revolve around reading, writing, thinking, laughing, and experiencing. I’m in love with the idea of creating stories, and that is the primary focus in many of my photographs. I am currently undecided as to whether I prefer digital to film photography-each one has very different and very specific strenghts…and so for now I’m content in using both. Anyways, that’s all there is to know about me. I’m really rather simple.” Kate Kinley

Sarah Ann Loreth does not take photographs

Sarah Ann Loreth does not take photographs; she creates them from scenes she pulls from deep within her psyche. Sarah is a fine art photographer from New Hampshire, who specializes in self-portraiture, conceptual portraiture, and fashion. In her work she tries to convey a quiet stillness of emotion with a connection to her natural surroundings. From her use of color she creates a reality found only in her imagination but so unbelievably human. She explores the divide between darkness and light, unafraid to explore themes that others may find uncomfortable.  Through death, destruction, suicide, or abandon, Sarah examines the darker side of the human spirit.  With photographs full of stories and symbolism she sees a life in death that shouldn’t be feared. Her work evokes a connection from the viewer, a feeling of oneness of the human experience and a mystery that leaves you wondering what will happen next.
