As he states on his website; "his personal work has concentrated on ideas surrounding the representation of man, and more specifically of young gay man." In his project Not Without My Father he creates and re-creates memories from his relatively fatherless childhood. The project About a Boy focuses on growing up as a gay teenager in Suburbia. In both projects he uses self-portraiture. The following images come from Celebrity, Not Without My Father and About a Boy.
