I wanted to let you know how gratifying it was to receive your kind words of support and encouragement, I am very grateful. It makes me happy to know that my photo will be in the home of someone who loves my work. Thank you Beyhan“Hey Jah, It was a pleasure to attend the exhibit. And I’m proud that my first investment in a piece of art is yours! I just wanted to say that I did truly fall in love with the photograph (an experience I have never had and which many of my friends describe as the experience you have when you find “the” piece) — It’s rare, I think, to capture freedom and sex(sens)uality together in such as way so that the latter doesn’t overwhelm (and impose itself on) the former. I also fell in love with the piece because the subject presents herself as who s/he is without apologies and with an openness to that moment, which is also difficult to capture, to contain and to define. For you to have communicated this through a photograph is incredible. This is the true beauty and the true body that I think we all struggle to inhabit. I didn’t purchase it just because you were the photographer, although that was definitely the cherry on the cake =) I think it’s important that you know that so it validates your work, which is marvelous.I can’t wait to hang it on my wall!”

I’m a survivor – a lover of the world and an easy spirit. I create art in the hope that I might help the world see itself as others and I see it. By offering a different perspective through my art, I believe people can become open minded: more appreciative of facts like simple freedom and the similarities in our differences of opinions. I believe that those who commit everything into what they love create the opportunity to change lives. Photography is my meaning, my art is not only a lifelong love but a lifelong challenge in which I strive to constantly improve to become more desirableI wanted to redefine opinions of masculinity. I feel as though masculinity can’t be confined and that its an individual expression - self defined. Masculinity is not only expressed by men but women as well and that’s what my focus is for this series. I did this shoot based on these questions: What does masculinity look like to you? If you could show masculinity, how would you show it?

When I stood back to look at my pictures I felt exposed. I felt very naked which made me very nervous, scared, and unsure. In that moment it was the first time I ever called my work beautiful. My dreams I thought were shattered, my dream I thought would never come true came alive right in front of my face, it felt perfect, it was perfect. I’m glad I got the opportunity to share with everyone an extension of me. “Nothing is impossible, impossible is a lie.”Yesterday was affirmation that I am an artist, that I am a photographer and that I’m amazing at what I do. I am very proud of myself and the 8 other artist’s, we did an incredible job. I’m looking forward to seeing further projects from you, and I’m looking forward to attending your showcases in the future. I believe in all of you and I support every single one of you to the fullest. Once again thank you to everyone that came out to show their love, your support is greatly appreciated. This is just the beginning of my journey, I’m excited for what the universe has in store for me.
