Bio:

I use photography as a tool to engage with distinct subcultures and communities. Living in Los Angeles, I became fascinated with the faded glamour hiding in plain sight. I found a disconnected subculture populated with dazzling, glamorous, mature females. This fascination developed and became a personal project featuring real people posing as glamorous movie stars.
