Torrence Hall is a young artist from Richmond, Virginia who explores the genre of self-portraiture through photography. About his process, he says in an Innovate Grant interview: "When I’m out shooting self-portraits it’s really important for me to feel calm and for my mind to be completely clear. I tend to close my eyes and meditate right before, allowing myself to get into character. When I start shooting I try to keep things very fluid and it’s almost dancer-like. I also like to imagine any nerves or anxiety I might have escaping down though my arms and flowing out of my finger tips - it really helps with staying focused."
