A collaborative effort with Emerald Arguelles, modeling for her Blaxploitation shirts and centering fashion as expression.

“My goal was to capture the model in their natural habitat and let the subject shine bright as their authentic, genuine self.”

“I could say that you never bought me flowers, but instead, here is a poem that reads like the flowers I may have given you might have smelled. Love is not forever, but again and again. “

After a year like 2020 that forced us to confront the harsh realities of life, “Collapsed in Sunbeams” acknowledges and explores pain and hardship while offering a cautiously hopeful outlook.

“This shoot portrays the beautiful moments shared between two people. While they are casually making their way around Brooklyn, they become quite the spectacle by wearing SAIbysai, a brand where each garment turns one into walking art - and I mean this quite literally as each piece is hand painted.”

A photo series embodying a sickly cute fever dream.

We have got to stop treating Black history as a commodity or just something we “celebrate” once a year. Let’s commit to learning and acknowledging the Black experience every day we can. Black history is American history.

“when i looked outside, i was reminded of how alone i am / how stuck i am, no matter how many people are in my home, phone, or head”

“A true "man" is not defined by his genitalia, but his ability to harness masculine energy with feminine energy. The men I want to surround myself with not only have both but know that by embracing both extensions of their identity, it makes them better men.”

“My fashion photography work brings together my creative and artistic style with my identity - British Tamil Sri Lankan. However my photography has grown and evolved and also is about being South Asian representation to the fashion, media, and beauty industry.”

“Would you hear my cry, wipe the tears from my eyes like my ancestors wiped your ancestor’s babies’ behinds? While their mothers sipped Sweet Tea in the Southern heat... Made by my great-great-great grandmother’s withered hands on her tired feet.

Would you even let me scream?”

Spike your hair and stop worrying about what they like.
Spike your hair and love every second of it.
Spike your hair and scream with me.

At its heart, LYT is a call to action for healing. It is imperative that as we move forward in reimagining how our systems function, we also think critically about who they function for.

“The taste of bone stalled my anxiety. My teeth are in my mouth.
Stress dreams after beautiful sex taste like chicken tacos and Jamaica. One without the other? It could work? One could fall asleep calm and collected? But the taste of my stress dreams refuses to disappear from my restless mouth.”

“Within this particular shoot the aim was to showcase the strength and dedication within the art of pole dancing. Whereby the body itself becomes almost a sculptural art piece. It is also sometimes viewed as a subject of controversy, some could even say ‘tasteless’ (which it shouldn’t be) due to its sometimes sexual connotations. Realistically it is an art form, in which art and sexuality come together. It is a beautiful way of expression and takes more strength than a lot of people realize.”

The photo series is about the concept of femininity and vulnerability. Being comfortable in your own skin inside and outside your home in front of people and alone. B/W and living in color. Franny’s place is somewhere we all used to hang out at and create art and be free before the pandemic. Franny’s comfortablilty in her own skin is admirable.

“The concept of this editorial shoot zooms in on the intelligent and complex demographic taking back the empowerment they have been denied. Who you may ask? THE MELANATED WOMEN!”
