The Age of the Succubus is a tribute to the old beliefs, to female empowerment and the collective unconscious. The protagonists in this photography book all show similarities with the Succubus. They are creatures born of local folk tales, personal experiences, dreams, readings, and memories. They represent what I have always wanted to be; independent, courageous, unapologetic, sexual, and wild, refusing to conform to the mold of appearance and behaviour expected of them. There are still many stories left untold, and many more realms of menace, mystery and magic to explore. My vision for this photo book is to create a statement that will challenge, trigger, and inspire the reader to help them discover paths to unbridled freedom and strength, to overcome limitations, and to find comfort in darkness.
