Canon Mirrorless EOS R

I’ve been taking portraits of my friends and family on @CanonUSA cameras since I was a teenager. I started with the EOS Rebel XTi (a college graduation gift) and have moved through almost the entire EOS 5D series since then. When Canon asked if I wanted to work with the new mirrorless EOS RP, I knew I wanted to get back to my roots and take portraits of my five closest LGBTQ+ friends in Los Angeles; my chosen family. It took me a long time to realize I use portraiture to help me understand my relationship with others. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have vulnerable conversations with my friends about what their identities mean to each of them. Ultimately, this series helped me feel validated, seen, and safe in my identity as a queer woman.
