For the most part, as a society, we are not happy with ourselves.

Not Happy

I do believe in angels and I believe that a lot of these people I’m supposed to meet. The photograph serves as evidence; it causes me to reflect on when I met this person.

Angel

Believe

People

I place myself in situations where a lot of people are going to be, and bring a particular body of work that reflects the people already there. You have to study your subject.

Study

I read a recent statistic that eighty-seven percent of women are dissatisfied with themselves, and over forty-seven percent of men. My work is visu-medicine to heal people and see beauty within people.

I remember growing up and hearing the word “ugly” a lot. “I’m ugly.” “She ugly.” “He ugly.” I hated it then, and I hate it now. I go past physical beauty; I tell people they have a beautiful spirit and that is something different.

Beautiful

Growing Up

Hate

I think that photography has allowed me to have a voice. I used to stutter, and once I overcame that struggle, it felt good to tell people they were beautiful and special.

Beautiful

Photography

Struggle

I think that’s what the war photography did for me. It showed me the human side of people and how certain circumstances can change people’s lives.

Photography

Thinking

War

I think what it was with the war photography was the concerned eye, the desire to document these situations to show the world the horrors of war. It inspired me to document prostitution; inspired me to document homelessness in America. We are the richest country in the world, yet we have people suffering, so it helped me to look at things in that manner.
