It’s been a while since I dedicated a post to @_gingercake , so here it is — will always love shooting with this beauty🤍 see last shot for a cute double self portrait we did together. All shot in France and Italy over the years.
throwback to one of the most magical weeks of my life. my first “artist meetup trip” (that jump started the biggest and most personal exhibition i’ve ever been a part of).
every single person here, i had yet to meet in person. but had followed on instagram for years. to say i was honored to be included is an understatement. i still remember when i got the voice memo from chanti. i couldn’t believe this opportunity.
i was stoked, BUT i was sooooo f*cking anxious to travel to europe by myself (basically for the first time) to meet a bunch of strangers. but i knew i had to do it. and that i would regret backing out just because of my obnoxious anxiety.
it went so beautifully and furthered my art and myself in more ways than i thought were possible. most importantly though, i made some beautiful friends. some of which have turned into besties. i love them all so much. that alone was worth the anxiety and fear.
that trip will always hold a special place in my heart.

As 2025 comes to an end, we want to pause for a moment and say thank you from the heart.
Thank you to everyone who has followed, supported, read, shared, and believed in ETC throughout this year. Thank you to all the photographers and artists who took part in the project, trusting us with their images, their visions, and their creative journeys. Your work is the soul of this magazine.
This past year has been filled with powerful stories, and inspiring perspectives from all over the world. Each photograph, each artistic contribution, has helped shape what ETC is today: a space built on emotion, talent, and creativity.
Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to say that many new projects are on the way. We will continue to grow, to experiment, and, most importantly, to include and support even more emerging artists, helping their voices reach a wider and more conscious audience. Because this has always been our mission since 2016
Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for making ETC a living, evolving community.
✨ Happy New Year to all of you, may 2026 be full of creativity, courage, and new visions. 🥂🎆🎇 ✨ Submissions for 2026 are now open https://etczine.site/
after all this preoccupation over AI getting freshly developed and scanned film back from @carmencitafilmlab felt like the most needed breath of fresh air ❤️🔥
a reminder that even if hundreds of ai creators steal my art, i will always be happier being out there with my camera, actually meeting the beloved humans pictured and seeing the magic of light unfold in real life.
