"Bodies" started in September of 2020 as an exploration of what it means to be human in our own skin. I started photographing just a few close friends. After several of these sessions, I quickly realized it was something bigger. This series is about self-love. It’s about accepting who we are; insecurities, scars, stretch marks, and all. It’s about not being in the “right shape” and embracing this body that we truly had no part in choosing. In 2021 I did an open call to the public for anyone to come to sit for the series. I spent two months photographing somewhere around 75 people. These are their stories. Skin and all.
