Shooting with Olivia is such a favorite story. We met in Richmond; I think it was on a Friday, and I was planning to leave Richmond on Sunday. It was totally by chance that I met her, because I'd gotten caught in a rainstorm and needed to change my sopping-wet clothes, and she was in the coffeeshop where I went to change. We hit it off and she convinced me to stay an extra day to do her very first photoshoot. The shoot gave her the courage and confidence to take control of her life and get out of some bad situations. The people who look at my images and just see skin completely miss out on why I do what I do. This is about connecting people with their own potential for themselves, in all of life.
