There is Your kingdom,

A Look at the Light Experiment

A Look at the Light Experiment

I'm just following hunches here, y'all!!

I noticed the light and thought about hey, some folks don't look at light the same way I do, maybe they'd be interested.

I like looking at stuff for long periods of time.

Modeling // Desert

I went to the desert with other feral women to heal my heart.

We spent our days half naked creating, as it was what felt most natural. We'd open up about the tough things we had been holding onto and laugh about them. We'd massage each other's shoulders, make food together. I forgot what it was like to be tended to like this-- women with o...

Self Portraits - In Studio

Self Portraits - In Studio

I was invited to an unused studio space the other day and got to play around with LED lights and huge empty spaces!

That day I had received a message that was difficult, so I used this fortunate opportunity to play with my body and try to represent the blurriness of the realities I was facing.

Hellooo legends!


I've switched my account to 18+ and am now sharing my (nsfw) BTS footage from my photo shoots.


I used my Pentax 645 and Ilford DELTA 3200 film. I love Ilford because of the contrast it gives, and how black the blacks are.

I used my air-shutter release cable to take these photos. Sometimes ...
