Commemorating the ADA with the Michigan Statewide Independent Living Council

Happy Disability Pride Month!

To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), idea39 hired me to photograph disabled volunteers for a statewide display put on by the Michigan Statewide Independent Living Council (MSILC). The exhibit is being featured in libraries across Michigan. As a disabled photographer and storyteller, I was honored to create these portraits, each one capturing a glimpse of the strength and individuality within the disability community.

Take a look at the portraits below.

*This series was commissioned by idea39 for MSILC. If you're looking for photography that centers authenticity, whether for a campaign, exhibit, or community project, I’d love to work with you. Get in touch through my contact page.
