Today’s image is from an amazing photo shoot from earlier today, of model Sarah D. In additional to being a very talented model, horseback rider and dressage instructor (and roller derby player!), Sarah has Cystic Fibrosis and recently received a double lung transplant. She is a very strong and powerful woman, and has incorporated what she has been through (and continues to deal with) into what she is, rather than being dominated or defined by it. I can’t help but ve very impressed by that kind of strength.

This image is a Fuji FP3000B instant film negative scan. I also shot some medium format film, so there will be at least one more post on this topic and remarkable model.
