CARINA

From Carina:

I began modeling in 2015, falling into a collaborative romance with a photographer. Through her lens, I was invited to explore layers of my identity I hadn't yet touched. In the process of being witnessed, of being captured, I found permission to be seen in all my many layers.

This is the gift of queer modeling: the opportunity to explore, embody, and share our multiplicities through art, in a world that so often negates our existence. I choose OurWay to continue this collaboration, to participate in creating images of queer bodies fully realized on our own terms. To show up in all our tenderness, in all our rage, and in all the ways that remind the world we're beautiful, complicated, and, most importantly, have always been here and are never going away.
