█ Edition of 50
A raw, luminous celebration of life at its most electric — this hardcover photography book gathers a fearless journey through nudes, rock and roll, models, dancers, Paris, America, drag queens, and everything in between. Shot with an intimate eye and unflinching curiosity, each image is a portrait of presence: the quiet vulnerability of skin, the combustible glory of the stage, the effortless glamour of a street in Montparnasse, the wide-open narratives of American cities, and the bold artistry of drag’s theatrical selfhood.
These photographs move between light and shadow, glamour and grit, anonymity and persona, revealing how desire, performance, and identity are braided into everyday spectacle. The book pairs cinematic compositions with candid immediacy—moments that are sensual, defiant, tender, and alive. Together they form a visual anthology that honors freedom of expression and the myth-making pulse of culture.
For collectors and connoisseurs of contemporary photography, this volume is both a keepsake and a manifesto: a declaration that beauty is complex, rebellion can be beautiful, and every subject photographed here demands to be seen in full.

█ Available Summer 2026
A sensory-rich fine art book that guides you through Paris with 100 carefully designed activities to see, taste, smell, hear, and fully experience the city—each paired with somatic therapy techniques to promote anxiety relief and grounding. Impeccably photographed and artfully composed, the book offers micro-practices that slow breath, orient the body, and restore regulation for readers with autism, ADHD, or PTSD, while also serving anyone who processes information quickly and needs frequent, focused tools to calm down.
Activities range from brief, tactile exercises—hand-to-stone grounding at the Seine—to multi-sensory rituals like a measured coffee-tasting with mindful inhalations and structured prompts for embodied noticing. Each entry includes simple somatic cues, timing suggestions, and gentle reminders to pause, plus optional French vocabulary and phrases woven into the experience so you relearn language through lived sensation.
Elegant, compact, and deliberately paced, this book is a portable companion for therapeutic exploration: stimulating enough to hold attention, specific enough to provide predictable structure, and beautiful enough to invite repeated use. Ideal for clinical support or independent practice, it reframes healing as an artful journey through Paris—one breath, one sense, one moment at a time.
