21 year old fine art photographer currently represented by Milk Studios and studying at The Academy of Art in San Francisco

Media seldom represents bodies that tend to diverge from classic archetypes of beauty, fitness, and heath. As a photographer, it is my belief that bodies perceived to come in conflict with these normative physiques are the ones worth really seeing. I seek to reconstruct what it means to have an imperfect body, and to question the use of the word "imperfection" as used to devalue and marginalize the bodies of real people.

I am captivated by these bodies, the bodies of everyday people, and seek to investigate the beauty of their natural form. As a woman, I recognize my own body as divergent from standardized and publicized forms of beauty, and hope others, through my photography, can relinquish their some of their own body dysphoria and can understand the beauty a body holds in its own right.
