“Create art out of heartbreaks; it's the fastest way to heal. Make enough to build a small museum of your beautiful tragedies, and show the world how unbreakable you are.”
― Brooke Shaden

“There’s something about the hunt for the place, the exploration, that’s always been the most important to me; the photography is almost second. There’s something about finding the secret places nobody knows, the magic in the everyday. I’m not interested in shooting in a studio or any sort of location that is “unspecific.” I’m far more interested in discovering locations that seem otherworldly, but aren’t; they’re here, and real, and the beauty of reality is far more interesting to me than any fantasy.”
