It might not seem like it but I‘ve been dealing with depression, anxiety, self doubt and other things the last years but I‘m at this point now where I‘m actually feeling good about myself, in my own skin. I‘m an autist and I can tell you: the surface doesn‘t always match the inside. People have been asking me why I couldn‘t work and function in society – I would look young and fit. Well, most of the doubts and challenges for me come from within, dealing with the world. But also being a gay man has compromised my self image in many ways. So, taking pictures of me like this has helped me surprisingly well. I can only say: it‘s worth meeting the shadow, the fear, the uncertainty. So, whatever you’re going through – it‘s a process but there‘s also a light at the end of the tunnel.
