“It was a sunny Sunday afternoon. Yoko arrived alone with a big rolling tote in tow – and in the blink of an eye, she transformed the studio into three distinct scenes using lights, drapes, a ladder, and even a plastic bag (!). Looking into her lens was exciting, inspiring, and liberating all at once. It was such a joy to be photographed by her, and I love the resulting photos from this special collaboration. I’m so grateful that Yoko agreed to do this session with me.” – Makia
