Online dating has been a phenomenon since the early Millennium, making establishing connections amongst people more convenient. This establishment of convenience also stirs up the confusion of what relationships should be. This is part of my ongoing work Is This What Love Is. The series takes a look at how the use of dating apps has had an effect on contemporary relationships, or to another extent just to look at how modern relationships exist with each other.
As the photographer, I am constantly shifting between participating and documenting in such events. The process has become a liberating experience in itself. The work broke boundaries on what I personally thought a photography project could achieve. It instead became a catalyst in aiding my views on modern relationships whilst redefining what love is and what love can feel like in the 21st century.
