What statement do you want to make with your photo compilation?
This book is about love. It's about acceptance of self and others and it's about kindness. I would love to have someone look at themselves and people around them with a bit more kindness and less judgement.
How long did this project take you in its entirety?
I shot most of the book in three months this past winter, but there were some images that were sitting on my hard drives for years that are now a part of the book as well. This was a crazy winter - so many red eye flights - mostly to LA, sometimes 4-5 shoots a day.
