My first attempt at telling stories about under-represented people was through photography. I started a photography business in September 2016. My clients shared stories about their experiences with mental health, immigration, racism, body image issues and sexual assault, which I captured through close-up portraits of them set in appropriately contextual backgrounds.
I have created pictures around the United States, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
