"I'm 23 years old from Argentina and I study film at college in La Plata. I also make videos and shoot on film more than anything. I do photography for fun with the people I meet in real life.
I've been friends with Milo for two years. Since we live in different cities, every time we meet I take photographs of him. We have so much fun and a great connection. Last year he started this Instagram called @gordes with a friend of his to give visibility to plus size bodies. They talk about self love, gender, mental health, and all kinds of topics. I think it really made an impact with the internet because there is a lot of fatphobia in Argentina. I'm very proud of Gordes and the visibility they're making. This Summer we talked about doing a naked portraiture session, full of colors and SKIN. These photos are the result of all those ideas; To show how the imperfect perfections of not hegemonic bodies of all genders. We wanted to give visibility because IT MATTERS. I consider myself part of the hegemonic figure, so I try with my photography to raise awareness of these issues as respectfully as I can."
