I'm planning on publishing volume two of The Lesbian Lives Project in October this year, and you can pre-order your copy now! The book is called "When You Come Back, I Might Be Dead. Black Lesbians in Johannesburg and a Constitution's Promise," and it's available in English and German, in a bilingual edition.

Some nice and compact portrait jobs I recently shot in Switzerland for Wir Eltern and in Madagascar for Annabelle. Read the article about volunteers here and the story of a young woman who didn't know she was pregnant until she delivered her daughter here. And to find out what masseuse Francia bought with her first salary, click here.

On a recent Saturday in November, I walked up to a newsstand at Times Square, purchased the local paper (haha), and was delighted to find a story I recently shot for them on the front page of their sports section! (I then proceeded to shoot said front page on the A train with my phone from all angles.)

When I was in Sambava to shoot the vanilla story, I started surfing and hanging out with the Surf of Clans gaong (boys), the local surf crew. Yoyo, Coco, Vario, Valérien, Paul, Lego, Nora and Olidano Colonel welcomed me with a particular mix of warmth, curiosity and heavy sarcasm that is unique to Malagasy people.
