15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Raw Emotion

Theres nothing more powerful than the right photograph and although it may not win an award in nature or from an observant point of view, its the voice of pure emotion, the detail of an illness you can not see and the freedom photography gives me. Everything here was taken and done by myself the makeup the lighting the position timing and even right down to the camera settings, thanks to the wifi capability of my camera its unleashed a new creativity, also while these photographs sometimes take all day to do everything alone and drain me they're also mainly all I strive for, its the life in my own darkness.
