In the celebration of light
There is darkness
The atrociousness of humanity and
The most radiant
I still hope
My tears can heal the world

Here’s the thing, mi gente: Photography is political and my photos are a protest.
Photography is the light that pushes back on the story of darkness. The light that affirms our joy, our hope, our resilience is our resistance.
I’ve journeyed with individuals to the heights of joy and in the depths of grief, tenderly holding space with and for them in my physical presence and through the memories I’m honored to deliver in the form of photos.
I see through a literal and figurative lens and there is always meaning behind what I photograph.
- The power of reflecting back love to a q***r couple marrying in a conservative community.
- The honor of offering a safe space of belonging for those who have been othered.
- The privilege of perfecting techniques so that Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color’s melanin is accurately portrayed — despite camera technology’s racists origins.
My photography is not neutral — I am not neutral.
