January-March 2025
The journey has ended, but the images remain.
What began as an exploration of youth, masculinity, and silence unfolded into something far more intimate. In March, I completed two intense shoots—one featuring a pair of twins (technically triplets, though the third was absent), shaped by a background of strict homophobia. Their gestures, at first tense and guarded, slowly revealed a quiet defiance and a complicated tenderness I hadn’t anticipated.
These final sessions mark the conclusion of a two-year journey—an evolving project that will culminate in Skin and Under, the book. What started as a 156-page layout slowly expanded as the images and stories accumulated. It grew to 200, and, according to the latest from the talented graphic designers working on it… we’re now heading toward 250 pages.
I’m also sharing selections from my February 2025 trip across Colombia’s Andes. For 15 days, I worked at 3,010 meters above sea level in shifting landscapes of cloud forests, rivers, and waterfalls. From Bogotá and Suesca to Pereira and the lush Cocora Valley, then onward to Medellín and the raw terrain of Eastern Antioquia and Santo Domingo, I photographed three different groups of models—each location with its own mood, its own breath.
These new works are fragments of those encounters—of the tension, beauty, and layered stories that surfaced when the camera stopped being a barrier and became, instead, a witness.
