THE SKIN I’M IN: Breaking Beauty Barriers is a photographic portrait series celebrating individuals living with visible skin and body conditions such as vitiligo, eczema, burns, scars, keloids, albinism, alopecia, rare skin conditions, limb differences, and more. Through powerful editorial-style photography, and inspired by the photographer’s own skin journey, this series aims to challenge conventional beauty standards while honoring the strength, stories, and visibility of real people.
