About the Shadows and Light Project.
The Shadows and Light Project is a visual and biographical collective of men sharing personal stories of fear, shame, joy, pain, faith, loss, humor, and wisdom. It is a container for men to normalize their vulnerabilities and contribute to the global co-regulation of true masculine strength. It is a safe environment for honesty without judgement and an outlet where you can share your voice or perhaps find it.
This project was created based on my personal experiences and challenges stepping into manhood (you can read more on that in my own story at the link below). I have had a passion for writing and photography, specifically portraiture, since the early 90’s. Combining the two, I hope to create a platform for men to openly share their experiences and find a sense of community and inclusivity.
Step forward and share what lurks in your shadows, or share what you’ve brought into the light so that we may all glean knowledge from each other's narratives and support and inspire one another in reaching our true potentials.
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious”
- Carl Jung
