Statement of Ethics…
I believe in the power of photography as both a mirror of society and a potent storyteller. My practice is rooted in folklore, with the locale of the woods at its heart. I value this environment and the opportunity to work within it; therefore, I will always respect Mother Nature and leave no trace of my interaction.
As a photographer and digital artist, my practice can involve appropriating found imagery. I fully respect Copyright and the ownership of work shared in the public domain; therefore, I will only use appropriately licensed images and give full accreditation. I often incorporate digital manipulation and, at times, generative AI; therefore, I will always be transparent about my process.
My primary core value is to represent the feminine beyond stereotypes and celebrate the power of the Sisterhood. I recognise that the sensitive nature of my narratives, which can involve gender, representation and marginalisation, may be triggering for some people; therefore, I will be mindful of this when talking about or sharing my work in the public domain.
Perhaps the most important promise I can undertake as a photographer and digital artist is the pledge to continually evaluate my principles as my practice develops over time.
