THE BILLBOARD WOMEN IN MUSIC PORTRAIT STUDIO 2026:
AN ALTAR FOR VENUS 🌸🐚❤️

When I saw the creative for this years WIM I was deeply inspired by the ethereal graphic elements. It reminded me of my own altar at home I created for Venus. I immediately sent a multi-concept pitch to Jenny and Sam and they believed in the vision. The biggest honor of my life. This project means more to me than anything l’ve ever created!!!

the goal here was to create a zen space in the midst of such a high energy event where these INSANELY amazing women could sit upon the altar and take a deep breath. Aknowledge their divine feminine. Celebrate themselves. Feel empowered. Feel grounded in the moment and in their own bodies. A meditation. This is why I love being a photographer.
