House of Nekko

Zen By Cat is dedicated to raising both awareness and money in the fight against FIP to help save cat’s lives. When Peter, the founder of Zen By Cat, bought his house in 1998 two cats were already living in his yard, and he adopted them. Over the years the adoptions continued and the number of cats grew to 24, the number it is today. Peter, having an extensive background in construction, transformed his home by installing intricate, colorful catwalks on his walls. These additions also continued over the years and now there are catwalks in all the rooms in his home, along with other features such as a coy pond and a ‘kitty room.’ Peter’s home has also been featured in Netflix’s “Amazing Interiors.” You can learn more about the foundation here.

See the photos from the shoot here.

LA Pride 2018

I recently had the pleasure of photographing LA's Pride festival for their marketing department for the third year. While walking the grounds, I was standing on the walkway just looking around when I saw this guy walking towards me in the crowd. All he had on was a thin pair of black cotton briefs, his body covered with brash strokes of gold paint. He was alone and started walking towards me with a beauty and grace that was undeniable. While this was a performance, I got the feeling that he was performing just for himself, not the audience. I remember thinking, this is what pride looks like.

I want to thank everybody involved with the #GirlGaze project for including me in an exhibition that I believe in and I'm proud to be part of. Everything Amanda de Cadenet mentioned about the importance of media platforms embracing imagery from a female perspective is more important than we even realize. Whether you care or don't care about fashion and art, it is irrelevant when it comes to the significant effects that these industries actually have on your sense of self and the different roles you perceive people having or being capable of having in society. Listen, I love the work of many male photographers and continue to do so. However when one group dominates the image making process, as is the case with the photography industry, the results are images that cater to that one group and how they see the world. You become conditioned to believe in expectations that may not represent your experience in life and contribute to a feeling that you're always coming up short. At that point it's not about your experience but what someone else thinks it should be. There is a difference between a story being told by a main character versus a bystander. And personally, I enjoy seeing a woman for who she is and how she sees the world and not what she's been told to be. Thank you @GirlGazeProject @AmandadeCadenet @LynseyAddario @SamTaylorJohnson @AmberValletta @InezandVinoodh @CollierSchorrStudio @AnnenbergSpace, the entire Girl Gaze team and all of the talented women I got to show my work with and thank you @SabrinaMChe for the polaroids!
