With Pain Comes Peace is a project straight from my soul to yours. It’s a meaningful project filled with photos, poems, and stories crafted in India in January + February 2024. As a portrait photographer, it was important for me to express India through its people. I’m showing you exactly what I saw with my eyes, in the most honest and creative way I can. Most of the photos are looking into the eyes of a fellow human, offering the reader an opportunity to imagine their story.
The photos offer a documentary portrait perspective, while the poems are equally personal and universal. I used small pieces of writing to weave through the photos to create a greater story; to fill the reader in on what is happening in my own heart and mind. Nearly every poem was written during a 10-day silence period at an Ashram in the Himilayas.
Thank you for supporting me as an independent creative. Peace + blessings.
