Hello Bluesky! I know the stakes are high first impressions. ISO for bright conversations on photography & culture. Very interested in supporting / seeing work that engages with love, grief, care. I believe photo is a tool for empathy as much as social change. Love to meet you. Drop me a line. #foto
Photo by me Lesly Deschler Canossi, Self Portrait, Ussel, France, 1993. A woman sits on a bed, wearing a robe, holding a stick with small dolls hanging from it. Open magazine pages lie beside her. A framed art piece is on the wall behind her.
