first loves - film & music

This is a secret gallery for when anyone is interested to see my early work: environmental portraits and music photojournalism.

It’s completely separate to avoid confusion over my current style and subject.

Fun fact, I used to make self-portraits a lot and this contact sheet clip is one of my selfie style self portraits from 2000-ish. I thought it was an interesting one to include as a cultural reference. You know, how people made selfies before selfies were even a thing.
