The Rose Project is a deeply personal portrait series I worked on from 2016 to 2018, dedicated to the beautiful trans, gay, queer, and non-binary community. It began after a friend and collaborator of mine, Cash Askew, passed away. Cash and I created many wonderful images together, and I felt compelled to continue photographing people in the community.

The project is called The Rose Project because I often use flowers in my work, and some of my favorite images of Cash feature her holding roses. The idea is to photograph people from the LGBTQ+ community who want to be seen.

The Rose Project was featured in The Bold Italic and Math Magazine.
