Braces – I had them in for 4 years. Everyone else thought they were so nerdy, but to me they were like decor for my teeth and now my mouth looks boring.

A shoot with Damon Hall Booth, in New York. I finally received the images I’ve been waiting for my entire life. Also, shooting on top of Table Mountain in my home city of Cape Town was pretty unforgettable.
