I am a graduate year photography student from Cape Town, South Africa. I am interested and participate in body modification, pain rituals and fetish culture, and this influence shows heavily in my work. I am currently setting up and documenting pain rituals and body modifications for my graduate body of work, including having needle play and rope bondage performed on myself and my boyfriend for one of the shoots, which I found a very serene and blissful experience and hope to have again.

Piercings:
4mm tunnels in both ears, aiming to stretch to about 20 eventually. 2009
