For my photo book, I decided to focus on the chaos and blur that often my everyday life can be. These photos follow me around university, fencing, work, and everyday life between my home in Belfast and responsibilities in Coleraine. Though often there is a harsh break in my photo sequence that looks into me more as an individual without the busyness exploring the fact that I am and identify as a transgender man. As seen in my photobook extra details and decoration usage becomes null after the first few pages, this was to illustrate how my energy feels as though it is gone throughout the day.
The photos themselves are printed on paper, adding a fragile and breakable aspect to my piece that for me represents how often my plans and routine can be left in pieces due to the amount of work that often I need to do.
Additionally, the photos contain no black ink, offering a more exposed look to them. This makes them more eye-catching to the audience due to it highlighting different parts of the picture and for me, it represents the daze my day can be.
For the more individual breaks in the book, I switched between two outfits, a more stereotypical one I have with heels and a more masculine one. The feminine side is illustrated as being killed or upset while the masculine side seems more confident.
