MISSION
As a queer photographer, I am deeply passionate about using my art as a means of amplifying the voices and experiences of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Through my photography, I strive to challenge the often-stereotypical narratives surrounding these communities and to provide a platform for marginalized voices to be heard.
My mission is to use my art as a tool for social justice and to foster greater understanding and empathy among people of all backgrounds. I believe that by shining a light on the unique experiences of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, I can help to break down barriers and promote greater inclusivity and equality.
At the same time, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space for members of these communities to express themselves authentically and without fear of judgment. Whether through candid portraits or more conceptual pieces, my goal is to capture the rich tapestry of identities and experiences that make up the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
Ultimately, my goal is to use my art to create a world where everyone is valued, respected, and celebrated for who they are, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, or other factors. I believe that through my photography, I can play a small but meaningful role in building a more inclusive and equitable world for everyone.
