ABOUT ME
NEISHA TRINITY FORD
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK
I am a photographer and artist.
A lot of my series are cathartic experiences that have been frozen in time. Sometimes exploring mythological characters and symbolism to express very personal things.
I use this method for my self portraits, documenting major milestones in my life through artistic photography. I also have extended this concept to my clients.
We have used themes like Dionysus, The Star Tarot, Mood Goddess and other themes to heal and illustrate parallels in a beautiful way.
I often times finding myself challenging the usual norms of ancient characters in a nod to modernism while retaining a beloved tribute to neoclassic art. Details like genders, race, body types and leaning into hairstyles and tattoos.
There has never been a time in my life where I didn't want to be an artist. Fine art photography has been a powerful element in my life long before pursing it myself. I have always been drawn to ethereal beauty as well as darker concepts like mental illness. Sometimes mixing the two is where I find myself.
I started my Modern Renaissance series in 2020 after having a mental break down and being stuck in a terribly abusive situation. Many of my images in the beginning were my cries for help. I reinvented myself... or experienced a re-birth. My series has given me life and helped me cope with the past, the present and things as they unfold.
When I look back at an image like that, I am reminded of the battles I have fought and I can be proud to be on the other side of that image.
I have always felt we hold feelings in images. A bad experience around a beautiful image can taint it forever.
So why not take control of that power?
