To celebrate the launching of my new website, here is my first blog post!
Back in 2015 I started a personal project called The Valar. The Valar is based on a group of characters from J.R.R Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. After starting the book in my final year of studying in University, it sparked the idea to portray these characters through photography. Even though my time as a student had come to a close, I didn’t leave this project when I graduated. The Valar is an ongoing photo project where I plan to experiment with the medium of photography, to educate myself more on each character to best portray them, and to hopefully put together a piece of work that tells a narrative.
I will write up a blog post on each character so you get to learn more about them, and also write my journey on this personal project with some behind the scenes posts.
I hope you enjoy following me along on this photography series, stay tuned!
