Beyond Pink

Beyond Pink - Award-winning photo series

My mother and I at a BEYOND PINK charity event raising money for breast cancer research

These award winning images are very close to my heart. When I picked my mother up from the hospital after her mastectomy she was hunched over in shame and embarrassment. I was just happy she was still alive after her second bout with breast cancer. I made this series to not make you pity her because of these scars but to empower her and other women to celebrate what they have endured. I want everyone to feel comfortable in their own skin and own their body and their power.

These series have received Honorable Mention in Siena International Photo Awards and Tokyo International Foto Awards.

It was also a top featured images in Bored Panda’s coverage of SIPA.
