stopped through NYC last month and we got to take some photos....

One of the many wonderful things about Ellian is she's absolutely stunning

before you even take her picture, so i decided to leave the photos below unretouched.

Hope you enjoy!

This post is a continuation of my last blog post about people living extraordinary lives 

while suffering from auto-immune diseases. 

The project was for HealthCentral.com and Laura's story was particularly interesting to shoot... 

I've wanted to photograph a boxer for quite some time.

As a child, Laura was diagnosed with severe Psoriasis, and although her father was a dermatologist,

here condition is very rare, and has had a profound effect on the way she lives her life.

The thing that makes Laura's story so remarkable is that as she suffers from her skin condition,

she has learned to overcome her limitations and has gone on to become a 

high-school teacher, a drummer, and most notably, a professional boxer.

Spending time with Laura and learning about her story and personal struggles was so inspiring.

If you're looking for someone who has learned to transcend their fears and lives life to the fullest, 

Laura embodies that spirit with graceful tenacity.

Last fall I took a job shooting for COUP Entertainment shooting 3 patients living with auto immune diseases. Each leg of the shoot featured someone with a particular auto immune disease who also happens to be leading an extraordinary life despite the condition from which they suffer.

Robert was one of the people we spent time with, and his story was remarkable to say the least.

Robert is one of a small group of people on earth that have climbed the 7 summits (7 highest mountains on earth) including a failed first attempt at Mt. Everest... he went back and summited

a few years later.

Diagnosed with severe Crohn's disease, he has fought an incredible battle that drove him to push far beyond the limits of his illness (he has no colon or lower intestines and carries a colostomy bag on his hip)

Robert is the kind of guy you will probably only meet once in your life.
