WESS is a st. louis based multi-hypenate creative with an experimental approach to film photography, 16mm filmography, and electronic sounds. With a BA in Cinema + Television Arts from California State University, WESS combines narrative depth with visual artistry, creating immersive works that invite viewers into an unique sensory journey.
Through self-portraiture and intimate collaborations, WESS’ intention is to foster individual and collective catharsis, composed by fluid narrative, movement, performance, sound and visual creation. Specializing in intimate and erotic portraits, their photography is spiritual by nature, focusing on personal transformation and connection.
WESS draws inspiration from nature, cycles and femininity, weaving these elements into their artistic practice to reflect the interconnectedness of existence. These elements are designed to materialize internal changes that are often hidden beneath the surface. Their electronic sound designs are intentionally crafted to add a personal auditory narrative, enhancing the emotional depth of the visual storytelling.
Certificed in Reiki and devoted to multiple healing modalities, WESS’ practices directly evoke transformational passion and the intention behind their creative work. This holistic approach fosters an environment of mindfulness and connection, encouraging deeper engagement with the creative process while nurturing both individual expression and collective exploration.
