Model: Emily Axelson [link]
Photographer: Me

Emily had this brilliant idea one night after drinking a few glasses of wine, that we should do a photoshoot. She told me that she had this idea in her head for years, I think she said it may have been a dream. But her idea was that, when someone is raped, violated, abused, they're attacker leaves an imprint on them. Something that stays with them forever, and she wanted to have a photoshoot with handprints all over her face and body to show how this can affect those victims. How visible the shame, grief, and anger is to those victims.
