Amazing headshot and series I did with Tanya. I hope to shoot with her again!

Philadelphia, PA. April 2012.

p.s- I am native american, before anyone gets nasty. 70% choctaw and apache.

Update 8/11/2012:

I just want to say a very HUGE thank you to everyone who has stood up for me on this post to the people being bigots and hateful towards women. I am extremely proud to be Native. I am so glad so many people can see that.

I definitely don't walk around dressed like this. I was raised to be very into the "now" and "present" but never forget what we came for and my blood line. I won't say much else, because it can get long and tedious. Plus very hurtful.

As for being "racist" against my own culture for being "nude" in this photo. That seems utterly ridiculous. I am so glad to see so many people standing up for women's rights. We should not have to hide our bodies because of prejudice and what men might do to us. People need to become progressive and not cavemen.

I plan on writing a very long blog post about this one of these days when I have time.

I want to say thank you again for everyone's POSITIVE comments. I wish I could answer every single one of them! I love you guys!

it is a very emotional picture. I must admit I had to take a closer look, but i can see your heritage in your eyes, and hair. I am curious to find out if you are on the lists?

Beautiful! The body is nothing to be ashamed of, nor are heritage, gender, or artistic liberties taken. Haters gonna hate, but art should never be about anybody's opinion except your own. I like it because it is a reflection of your current and ancestral cultures. Very well done!
