This session with Dezaray was such a dream! I absolutely loved creating art with her and I’m sort of obsessed with what we made!
Bold colors and moody lighting are elements I’m always so drawn towards, and I really dig how those all worked together for this session! But ultimately, it’s all about the subject. I want your photos to represent you, as the work of art that you are. And in that sense, we are co-creators. Unless I’m shooting myself, or still life, I can’t create this art without you. YOU are the essential component . You are vital. You are worthy of being seen. You are worthy of seeing yourself in all of your artful splendor. No matter where you are in your relationship to yourself and your body, know that you are worthy of love and admiration exactly where you are in the present. When we shoot together, I’m not creating something from you, I’m making art with you.
