Chapters

People only see fashion photography on the surface, but there's more to it than that. It is centered on the idea of creating desire and making something fashionable. But I think it's 2020 and it is possible to make things like inclusivity, body positivity, and being queer fashionable. So my process is like really My mood boards are really random and weird. I don't really do a lot of mood boards. Like, I'm so random, like, I'm just literally like daydreaming or sitting down and I remember like a word or a childhood story and I try to like write it down and I build a story around it. Photography really helped me to come out of my shell, be vulnerable, and share my story. It helped me to embrace my Queerness and confront part of myself that I was afraid to face before. And when I started believing in myself, people started believing in me. 2020 has been like weird, but I think for us artists, it's time to really think of deeper things. Like, are we doing good to people, environment, things like that? And I think like we're hungrier now, all of us. Like, we just want like a kinder world. I think the key really is like love.
