upfront

“It’s important to

understand that

there’s a certain visual

language that has

historically been used

to depict women. The

reason is that, for the

most part, it is men

who have dominated

these industries. As a

female photographer,

I approach the women

I photograph in the

same light that I see

women in—strong

and resilient. I like to

catch them in those

brief moments when

they let go of their

pressures, and find a

moment to just be.

I often depict the

worlds of those less

privileged than me,

because even birth is

a privilege.”
