In 2019, I began a series emphasizing the vital role of diversity
before it became a corporate buzzword or a bigger movement than it is today, and I’m glad there is progress, but still a way to go. For me, diversity transcends skin color to include gender, sexual orientation, religion, and more. My aim was simple: to showcase that talent knows no bounds, focusing solely on merit regardless of identity markers. Rejecting advice to only photograph women for profit in the fashion industry, I instead prioritized talent (and kindness), capturing subjects from all walks of life.
