‘Bare Bones’
Who are we, really?
The absence of clothing in Bare Bones is not meant to suggest loss, but arrival. By removing all external markers of identity, status, style and expectation, the work asks “what remains when nothing is used to define the self?”.
A fine art photographic exploration of selfhood revealed through intentional reduction.
Be yourself.

‘Black is Beautiful’
This is the first installment of an ongoing, personal photo series. It is my contemporary take on Kwame Braithwaite’s work during the Black is Beautiful movement from the 1960’s and 1970’s. This movement was used as a catalyst for the rejection of European beauty standards and a celebration of natural Black identity.
Although I do agree with an excerpt of Toni Morrison’s work where she stated, “The phrase was nevertheless a full confession that white definitions were important to us (having to counteract them meant they were significant)”, I do still find it important to examine what ‘self-defined beauty’ looks like for each individual.
For this series, I’m asking each model to wear their hair in it’s natural state (fully picked out, curly, coily, etc) and also to self-style in a way that makes them feel most beautiful.
Please stay tuned to see how this series fully unfolds!

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
