just a girl from the south with a camera and headphones.


photoshoot with a crew of incredible artists of all kinds!!! The goal of this shoot was to center play and joy, and learning in the creative process. There was not necessarily a central theme rather a vision board that allowed us to experiment with new ideas and see if we could put a project together spontaneously.

Black Southern visions of life as connected to nature and religion. This shoot was created to center real people, real bodies, and authentic Southern experiences, especially through the lens of Black connection to nature and spirituality. It is both an act of celebration and resistance.
