Mentorship with Annie Leibovitz for IKEA Life At Home Report
Excited to share my photography results from a paid mentorship opportunity I partook in from October 2023 until February 2024! I was selected along with five other young photographers from around the globe after submitting to an open call last summer. The assignment was to capture images based on insights from the Life at Home Report and share home life from our unique perspectives. Our work appeared alongside Annie Leibovitz’s at a special event during Paris Fashion Week in February 2024.

During the past few years, its been beautiful to realize personal values of mine that are beginning to reflect more in my work. My innerstanding of the fortune cookie today is that it’s not only literal and about traveling or trips, its something to be applied to any area in life that feels stagnant. Reconnecting with my community, intuition, and self has been an uphill battle for me but worth every step. My takeaways during this period of learning were to keep going in my pursuits of being consistently curious and creative, take more risks, and ask people more questions. Thank you the everyone behind the scenes who contributed and helped during this assignment!
