A Series of tea-toned Cyanotype images are part of my Fine art book project called Nudus. My love for Fine Art Nude and the alternative printing process led me to create the book in which I attempted to convey the essence of the female form. The whole idea behind this project was to regard a female body with respect and an awareness that the image is a portrayal of an entire being captured in an instance, not segments of a female body, objectified and sexualised.

Photography is my full-time passion, split between my work in medical photography and portraiture. But what truly lights me up is capturing women—their strength, beauty, and the raw, authentic moments that make them who they are. There’s something incredibly powerful about creating images that help women see themselves in a new, empowered way.
