SHOOT 002: "PRETTi BOi CLiQUE"

In issue 002, the spotlight is on three distinct “Pretti Bois” — each with their own section that showcases their individuality, unique style, and presence. The term “pretty boy” is usually used to criticize men for being too soft or feminine. However, the title is recontextualize as a form of women empowerment — highlighting women owning their energy, setting fresh trends, & being unapologetically themselves without being misunderstood as weak.

From solo shots bursting with color and personality to the group section where they come together in uniformity, this is a celebration of identity, sisterhood, and style. Flip through the magazine & watch the Pretti Bois shine through the pages (2025)

SHOOT 001: "I SHOULD BE OPEN BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING"

This photo series explores the complexity of love beyond the glossy, surface-level portrayals often celebrated in entertainment and on social media. Although one can recognize elements of affection, closeness, and see a display of two people slowly becoming one throughout the series, love isn’t as shallow as it is normally portrayed in fiction nor is it a one person dance.

It is easy to fabricate the complications of relationships into a desirable, digestible image that is universally appealing. However, without addressing the elephant in the room, one is incapable of acknowledging the depth of the connection and the illusion will eventually fade away until the cycle starts once again with a different tint.

A photo series that details a musician struggling to play his guitar because of him suppressing his traumatic past and carrying the burden and shame that comes with it. The teddy bear is a representation of the past that will never leave his side no matter how hard he ignores it.
