2nd 'Comfort in Chaos' film to premiere next Wednesday

The 2nd 'Comfort in Chaos' film will premiere next Wednesday (27th May) at 6:30pm (AEST). I'm kinda proud of this one :).

Thank you Seba

This is the ‘Comfort in Chaos’ exhibition feature photograph, it is one I'm really proud of. I feel that it shows the inherent fighting spirit of my homie Seba. I took this photograph out the front of his apartment, on the top floor of the Kensington housing commission. At the time, Seba was struggling with severe drug addiction and an array of mental health issues.Last year Seba made the decision to check into rehab and he has maintained the fight to sobriety ever since. Seba has risen from many challenging obstacles and his inner strength is one I deeply admire. It is an absolute honour to have my friend Seba be the face of my ‘Comfort in Chaos’ photography exhibition, his story really fits the narrative. I'd like to thank Seba, for allowing me to share his personal experiences publicly.

Proud of this one :)

He's the only dude I can say that I'm completely creatively aligned with. I can't wait to collab more in the future homie! I'm still chewing my nails to bleeding point though.

Rad ones, still exist

Thank you

Thank you for all the love yesterday, friends! Putting together my first exhibition has been such a stressful & exciting experience, to be honest I've been extremely anxious since dropping the news. I called my brother (Motley) to get a little insight today (as I always do) and his positive words always seem to put me in a balanced headspace. I was lucky enough to watch him succeed when dropping his EP last month. Although, he played to a jam packed venue, the success really stemmed from the warm connection he had with all that attended. It was one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen. 

I hope to achieve the same when sharing 'Comfort in Chaos' with you.

This pic was taken mid way through his performance, the energy was euphoric.

I'm blessed to have good people in my corner.

Comfort in Chaos

I’m literally shaking as I write this… So here it is… I am announcing my first exhibition to date, titled ‘Comfort in Chaos’. As many of you may know, I have been quite public with my mental health struggles. I was diagnosed with Depression at an early age, and later, Anxiety and Panic Disorder. My constant struggle has brought on feelings of detachment, suicidal ideation and most of all, self-sabotage. My exhibition ‘Comfort in Chaos’ is my first major step in confronting myself and is a visual & written interpretation of my own self-discovery.

The day I purchased my camera was one I’ll never forget. I used it to film myself shaving my father’s head when he was admitted to a drug & alcohol clinic in Dandenong. This sparked the first of many intense and life-changing moments I shared with my camera. My love for photography and film is immeasurable. It’s something I’ve never experienced with any other endeavor and I feel that it is my place in the world. As difficult as it is to admit, if I didn’t have my camera, I wouldn’t be here today.

‘Comfort in Chaos’ depicts my personal struggles with mental health, in photo form and written form. I set out to create this exhibit as a personal survival goal for my loved ones and myself. I struggled with many inner demons while creating this exhibit and at times it was the one thing that kept my head above water. The photos from this exhibit are from my home city Melbourne and my travels in San Francisco, which represent two defining moments in my life.

‘Comfort in Chaos’ is me in my most honest and purest form and I am proud to share it with you.

Announcement tomorrow

I'm announcing something extremely important to me tomorrow. I'm so nervous, I've barely slept over the past two weeks. Thank you to my wife, friends and family who have supported me through this. This is one of the most challenging things I've ever set to achieve. On 18th May 2017, I'm really going to need you're love and support homies. Check in tomorrow night for the announcement

Still holding it together
