Soon after becoming a free agent for hire, I was called upon by one of the legendary crip writers of our time, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, to take some fresh author photos for their upcoming poetry book, The Way Disabled People Love Each Other, which I can now attest is a banger.

Having spent years doing product photography, and years before that doing street photography, I was eager to finally finally bust out my portrait lens. What started as a “let’s just see how things go” meet-up to scout locations turned into the full shoot, as the autumn light was too good and available time was short.

Check back for a few unused shots, and check the tour dates list to experience this book and its author live and in the flesh in your city, starting March 27 through May 09, 2026.
