seen

An in-body experience creating portrait odes to our never-before, never-againness.

“This was, hands down, one of the most empowering experiences of my life.”- Molly

If you’re looking for sexualized copy-paste poses, arched lower back come-hither male-gaze boudoir keep scrolling…

But if you’re looking for something more: Seen is different. Seen is divergent.

Seen is new portrayal; presence over polish, feeling over performing.

Seen is a feels>looks experience.

Seen is an explorative co-creative portal for seeing, being, and embodying a body- your body (oddy oddy oddy)

Seen is body work, an out-of-time, taboo smashing play that amends us to ourselves and initiates a deeper connection to how it feels to be ourselves exactly as we are, right the fuck now.

Seen isn’t boudoir—but it reclaims what boudoir was meant to be.

Before it was a genre, boudoir was a room. A space of solitude, not seduction. A woman’s interior world. Seen returns to that root of self-regard, not spectacle.

Seen explores disrobing performance, integration, and expression that gifts us images of the truthful, divergent, and impactful sort.

Seen isn’t something you stumble onto. It began with The Invitation. An idea, a desire, mind-image that haunt and want you. Maybe it’s a years or life-long longing and maybe it came spontaneously and all at once. When you recognize the desire to be Seen and see, when the idea of it sings itself in you and sticks to your ribs know this:

You don’t need to be “empowered,” enlightened, or healed to be be photographed. The wanting is reason enough.

You don’t have to be certain.
Or brave. Or photogenic.
You don’t need a better reason than your own desire.
You don’t need to explain this to anyone.
You’re allowed to be a little worried or scared, to be a little raw, a little full of yourself.
You’re allowed to want to be seen.

This experience is yours what’s yours is usually unlanguageable but here are a few reflections on what Seen feels like,

And it’s not all fun, pretty, easy self-care bubble bath positivity…

Being seen is you about you being you. Experiences of the self are always both coaxing a spectrum from surrender to uncovering thrills that trigger, initiate, and celebrate.

I created Seen for me.

I always wanted to see these images; to make them, to be in them, to direct them. And giving the gifts I want for myself are always the best gifts to give.

My work offers an experience that is artful, silly, natural, and collaborative for body-neutral representation without pretense.

I come from a lineage of stare-hards: detail adorers. The demonstrative ones who hold your face in their hands and said, “Aw look at you!”; a grandmother who loved rubbing earlobes and adored the softness of petals and the scales of a fish in a frying pan, a father who photographed his wife getting ready, a mother who did hair and made sure you knew you looked as great as you did.

Now as the living rarity of that beholder lineage I document the miraculous mundane dailies of being and body, nature and expression collaborating (is that a fancy word for play?) to create images born of the desire: to see and be seen.

I fall in love with every person I photograph. If I didn’t I couldn’t do what I do. I am professional but this is personal. I am in love with the world, with your nuance and from that impulse I’m seen too. We’ll both in the jittters, witnesses and makers of magic that allows us to reach into ourselves, to find expressions both life-long and new. This is a deep thing we’re doing (life). Our time making art might be light and fun but it’s also kind of weird and daring.
