My work shows the beauty in so many different kinds of people because I never photograph anyone who I don't think is beautiful. I never take an inten….

I just get inspired to take a picture by the beauty and vulnerability of my friends..

Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures..
