About Me

Hello,
In the early 2000's I started sharing my self-portraiture on various social media platforms. Flickr being the main platform, during those years most of the pictures were done through experimentation, having fun with different mediums.

I use Photoshop for editing, instant film cameras (Polaroid and Instax) and digital cameras (Canon and Nikon) I also like to experiment with TTV - with the help of glass sheets/paint and vintage toy cameras.

It was (still is) a lot of fun learning new technique and basically dressing up to create characters from all types of things that inspire me. Fairytales, growing up in an extremely religious household, novels and poetry from my childhood, movies that stuck with me and I never got over.


I was also finding myself having gone through my first struggles with depression. I used this outlet to forget my daily struggles. Personally, I found this strange and often looked down upon form of photography to be helpful in creating things I wanted to create, I prefer to create things alone and by myself.

I never like to call myself a photographer because I am self taught and still don't understand all of the technical aspects of photography and using cameras. I've learned some things, I do love natural light, painting with light and I also love the artistic ghostliness you can create with light.

I am still considering it to be a learning process and an outlet in my life. I do love the use of the camera as a tool for capturing moments and I have always wanted those moments to be up for interpretation by you, not me.

I want you to imagine the story behind it.

I've tried all types of creative outlets (painting, drawing) but I do always come back to this.

Thank you for reading and viewing my pictures.

I Love you always,
Kristamas
