- Never

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm used to being told by society that I must regulate my body to fit the norm. I'm used to the fact that images of unaltered women are seen as unacceptable.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm used to seeing women being degraded, slut shamed, harassed for what they look like. Even the most powerful women in the world are measured by their appearance and constantly ridiculed for it.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I consider myself endlessly lucky to have access to the Internet and technology. Through it, I've found myself and have been able to join a new discourse of females, young and old, who strive to change the way we look and treat ourselves.

I know having a social media profile removed is a 21st century privileged problem - but it is the way a lot of us live. These profiles mimic our physical selves and a lot of the time are even more important. They are ways to connect with an audience, to start discussion, and to create change.
- Freedom

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm very lucky that I'm not a photographer for hire - people hire me for me. I go into every commercial work with an art focus, with that lens; every brand I've worked for just lets me do whatever I want to do. I have full creative freedom.
- Media

- Nov 07, 2020
Social media has been such a big important thing for young artists and minorities because it's a community to get noticed. It's having an audience that was never there before.

That's what I look for in models: Someone who can tell a story and has a presence in front of the camera.

Occasionally, I'll wear glitter or blue eye shadow.
- Interesting

How girls perceive themselves is interesting, and how they act when they're looking in the mirror.
- Mirror
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everyone has a mirror face that's so different from their natural face. And I think it's interesting, seeing the way people want to be viewed when they're putting themselves together.
- Nov 07, 2020
It's just so humanizing to see someone be real.
- Community
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't see spaces where female artists could exist and exhibit their work. So I created a platform for this - one that allowed our works to be seen, but to also weave a community of women that could lean on and work with one another.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The selfie is revolutionary to me. It is, I think, the only point in history where masses of young girls and women have been able to control, create, and publish images of themselves.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The selfie is a powerful tool, but it can also be dangerous, and I am fascinated with the process of it because there is a level of self-monitoring.
- Create
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm so pro-selfie because I think it's a tool that allows girls to create images of their own and of themselves.
- People

With social media and all the new technology, there's just more interfaces around and reminders to constantly be working on our body.

- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's important for not just me but women of color, trans women, and people who are marginalized to be telling stories of themselves. It's important for us to be behind the lens.

People are always like, 'Did you purposely do something to make people uncomfortable?' And I say the reason why it's uncomfortable is because it's either something that we can't talk about or aren't supposed to talk about, and they're images that aren't ever seen.
- Girl

- Nov 07, 2020
I always had this feeling, what I wanted to do. I was trying to work out myself, my frustrations, my body. I couldn't really pinpoint. I started taking photos of my sister and her friends. I was 15, exploring what it meant to be a 15-year-old girl.
- Different Places
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Curating, in the modern sense, is something I gravitate to. Taking different ideas from a bunch of different places and putting them into one place or space, a story that makes sense or a new idea. Everything is remixed and taken from other things to make something new.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just like any other girl, I felt pressure to look a certain way. Act a certain way.

- Angry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was very depressed at a young age and felt like I didn't have agency towards that. Being 'female' meant I couldn't be that - I couldn't be angry, loud, sullen. Being sad meant I was weak.
- Pleasant

- Nov 07, 2020
When a woman is anything but pleasant, she is labeled as whiny, hysterical, etc.
- Looking

- Nov 07, 2020
I look for subjects who have stories to tell - who are looking to tell something.
