As I put myself out there more in front of the lens, I figured it's also about time to give context to who I am, the personality behind the craft This was all surrounding the theme of 'gentle strength' , a term I've associated myself with after resonating and viewing what people around me see me as. I'm always soft in my approach but strong, determined within the process. Ensuring people I interact with feel safe enough, but yet a balance of a certain force. From the layered fabrics that gives gentle flow to a nostalgic vintage soft look, with the final shot being a lighting marked beside my eyes, these are just some simple concepts that I've thought of☺️ Photographer: @jaydenation Stylist: @theisabellachan / @nini_stayclutty / @stayclutty HMU: @aungkeng 1st shot outfit: @upstairsgarments

Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
Back in the day, Ansel’s fellow photographer and friend Edward Weston lived a few hours south of San Francisco, in Carmel, and Ansel often drove down the coast to visit him and his wife, Charis. On one visit he recalled, “I told Charis I was looking for a place to make a really good photograph of Edward. She said there was a big eucalyptus tree nearby that he liked.” Earlier that year Edward had photographed the tree’s “exciting roots.” When Ansel eventually moved to Carmel many years later, he built a home not far from it. In ‘Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs,’ he wrote, “At first I was not satisfied with the location and I began to explore nearby. Edward sat down at the base of the tree to await my decision.” After initially gravitating towards the picket fence, Ansel “suddenly saw the inevitable image. . . . The relatively small figure at the base of the huge tree, the convoluted roots, and the beautiful quiet light” of a foggy coastal day. “I pleaded, ‘Edward please just keep sitting there.’ I was very excited and fumbled my meter, dropped my focusing cloth and inadvertently kicked the tripod leg. Edward was amused and relaxed.” Image 1: ‘Edward Weston, Carmel Highlands, California,’ 1945.
