Imperfection creates individuality, and individuality creates value. What amount of value does your story have? You can mimic many people but your life is your own to show. Popularity can only take you so far. Longevity only happens with your own truth.

How lovely it was to place myself in the scenes I love to capture with others. This shoot was a collaborative self portrait with my friend Yinsey, who is incidentally one of the most supportive, kindest person you would ever meet!
We both grew up in a culturally rich environment and it was actually the similarities in that shared background that inspired this shoot!
When we were shooting this I was actually recovering from a broken ankle. I think this shoot was 9 weeks post break, and after all that trauma, post operation, and the lingering aching pain, it was so nice to escape in art once again.
This picture was actually selected to be the front cover of Enchanted Living Magazine!

One of my favorite and most rewarding shoots from INSEX. Intended as the ‘climax’ of the series, these images are the product of weeks of preparation, featuring over 200 hand-spread butterflies and an indoor-outdoor set I built myself. When I first envisioned this series, these were the photographs that instantly came to mind and served as a basis for building the rest of the concepts around. I couldn’t be happier with how that vision came to life.
On display at Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles for just two more weeks. It’s worth checking out the massive print in person to really appreciate all of the details up close.
