I think one of my resolutions for 2021 (other than survive) is to get back to creative projects. This year structural issues took a front seat, and I would love it if beauty and aesthetics could drive for a while.
2018 was a year I made beautiful things. Elly was a co-conspirator, muse, model, flower fairy of my dreams. We created so many beautiful things together, driven by our shared desire to capture how it felt. This shot is one of my favourites from a shoot we did for reference photos that autumn, worship hands and limbs entwined.
This summer she sent me a photo of one of her latest painting and I could tell right away she’d used one of the photos from this session as a reference. Such a sweet memory in such a new light, but still the same dreamy aura. Her talents always amaze me, this mosaic piece is no different.

Elly is highlighting talented Trans artists on her Instagram this week for Trans Awareness Week. Take a peek at some of the beautiful things being made. 💕
