‘Beyond the Screen’ is a six-part photo series that aims to depict the impact and effects of social media on young women in the 21st Century. This series is a portrayal of how social media can dictate the perceptions of ourselves and the world around us.

My love for photography stemmed from my initial love for cinema and narrative. I love the power that photography has in telling a story within a single moment. This is what led me to conceptualise this series. I wanted to highlight the moments we don’t post on social media and represent the paradox between our curated virtual lives to our true reality. Shot on 120 film, I wanted to strip down my photographic process and embrace intent and imperfection to contrast with the fast-paced, perfected digital imagery we absorb through social media.

This series embodies the photographic style I hope to continue within my creative practice: portraiture, film and commercial. Ultimately, I want to continue elevating stories in a collaborative and visually aesthetic manner. I hope you enjoy my technicolour vision.
