Early Work
Stoddard discovered photography at the age of 16 in his backyard in Georgia.
[1] Sneaking his mom's camera out of her room to take self-portraits in the woods behind his house, he began sharing his work on the popular image sharing website Flickr and within a year's time gained a following of tens of thousands. [2] His following escalated during his 365 Project in 2011, where Stoddard took one self-portrait every day for a year. On referencing his project, he says, "I spent most of the year that I was engaged in the project by myself, so I had a lot of time to delve into my own mind and really come to know myself." [3] His photos during this time were widely recognized by many media outlets such as My Modern Metropolis and Refinery 29. [4]

The 23-year-old photographer is currently based in Orange, CA and is represented by Fahey-Klein.
