damn i took this photograph when i first started shooting, i remember right before i took it so much went wrong that led me to damn near spiral and it was the first time i showed vulnerability in a way that felt new behind the camera— I remember @ceniiza literally wiping my tears and telling me to keep shooting and @no.para.ti for holding me in the most tender way, moments later I took this photograph. This photograph has catapulted my career in the most profound manner but most importantly taught me the value of viewing my art as a true communal creation and the power of opening myself up just as much as every lovely soul I’ve photographed has done to me. An equal exchange. So thrilled to share I’ll be offering prints of this image via @aperturefnd This month, @aperturefnd marks seventy years since its founding in 1952. In celebration of this anniversary, Aperture is launching Seventy x Seventy—a special limited-edition print sale bringing together original works by seventy artists, available in editions of seventy for $250 each. Through September 30, collect signed or estate-stamped, 8-by-10-inch prints by some of the most revered and influential photographers in the history of the medium, with proceeds directly supporting Aperture and the artists.
