When I founded @taintedmag 3 years ago, all I wanted was to create a platform where I could feature my own photography and have full creative freedom. I was tired of submitting to other digital publications and feeling like my work maybe wasn’t what they were looking for, or overthinking about what others thought of my work. Reflecting to where I am today, I feel humbled to have created a platform that grew so much bigger than me, a platform where I give other creatives an opportunity to have their first article write up or curate an art show and have their work featured in a gallery for the first time. It warms my soul and I’m grateful to everyone who has supported my vision. Even those who’ve doubted me, thank you 😝 Follow @taintedmag #brownowned #castrofrank (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPl3Z6Vptov/?utm_medium=tumblr
