THE SKIN I'M IN: Breaking Beauty Barriers is a portrait project celebrating individuals with visible skin conditions, such as vitiligo, eczema, burns, major scars, keloids, albinism, alopecia, rare skin conditions, physical changes due to injury, and more. Through powerful, editorial-style photography, this series aims to challenge conventional beauty standards and honor the strength, stories, and visibility of real people. Inspired by the photographer’s own skin journey, the project is volunteer-based and open to adults 18+. Selected participants receive their professional portrait and are featured in an upcoming exhibition.

NEW EXHIBITION!
