A : The photographers that want to work with me are usually the ones who appreciate
what I have to give. I find that these are the photographers who have the
courage of their craft, and want to challenge the profession and medium, as I
do. All of these photographers have made an impact on me, for they are the
braver ones.

A: I would ask her or him to touch me.
Q : What is one perception that people think of you that you would like to change?
A : The perception I would like to change is that there is anything, commercial or otherwise, that I
cannot do. I can do anything.

modeling business.

Q : At this moment in your life, what are you most passionate about?

measured, so that I don’t expire prematurely.
