ALL THAT I’VE GOT BLAKESUTHERLAND

Blake Sutherland

‘ALL THAT I’VE GOT’ is an editorial photo series exploring deconstruction and recontextualisation through the lens of fashion and psychology. The series explores our early relationships with fashion and the self. Chronicling the ways we use what we have to express ourselves against all odds.

From how we pieced ourselves together to the way we held ourselves when no one was looking.

This is an ode to transformation, resilience and radical self acceptance.
