After the storm (Self portrait)

I believe that the best photographs I take are the once that tells a story that people can connect to. I'm constantly battling myself on how personal I should get in my work. I have no problems showing my naked body because it's just a shell, it will change, what's hard is to show what happens underneath.  Sometimes I feel like I'm two persons, one who wants to tell the world everything I experience, show my weaknesses and one person who wants to keep everything hidden and keep a strong facade. What I love about photography is that it allows me to be both. This image of myself being washed up upon land is highly personal but at the same time you don't know the story behind it. My photographs will not change the world, they will not be important in the long run but for me it's a wonderful way of
processing the events in my life.
