The Beauty We Are
photographed by: Zoey Alden
“The Beauty We Are is a visual dialogue—an exploration of the connection between photographer and subject.
This portrait series honors the individuality and presence of the women I photographed foe this series—each one unique in her story, spirit, and strength.
My goal with this work was to return to the essence of why I entered the world of portrait and fashion photography: connection.
In larger editorial settings, that connection can be diluted or lost.
With this project, I wanted to strip everything back and focus on the emotional exchange that happens when a subject allows herself to be seen—and on how the camera becomes a bridge between us.
Each image is more than a portrait; it is a shared moment of trust and vulnerability, where identity and emotion meet.

With the utilization of flowers, the aim was to express the experiences of anxiety and depression. Experimenting with pedals and leaves on the human body, for the purpose of encapsulating the complexity of emotions, conveying them as parts of the human body, not as a singular entity.
