Many photographers in history have turned the camera on there own life's and the people around them friends and family.
Currently there seems to be a trend in a lot of work where this is the case.
I find it hard to make good work from this subject matter the "how to photograph relationships of all forms and make that appealing to publishers, galleries and magazines.
There are few who can do it well! , when i say well mean the has the power to connect with universal emotions and feelings , that is the human condition.
