[FRAMED] Episode 2: Jake Garn True Beauty Portraiture

*WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES THAT MAY BE UNSUITABLE FOR SOME VIEWERS. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED*

Just over a year and a half ago, Kelli Branan was in the back seat with her friends. Before she knew it, she was ejected from the vehicle as the skin on her legs was degloved. After months and months of hospital visits, therapy, and hardships, Kelli now has scars all over her body to remind her of that day.

Internationally known photographer, Jake Garn and his amazing styling team, gave Kelli another day she'd never forget. And Kelli inspired us with words that hopefully...we all never forget.

What a beautiful young woman. Glad she could have a great experience.

@bedojo It's about why we do what we do. The technical aspects of photography are pretty simple; I can take a person of average intelligence from "this is what we call a 'camera'" to complex studio lighting setups in about a week. With a little experience, you can tell everything worth knowing about a setup from a quick glance at a picture. I can't give you passion, though, and I can't show you in a workshop what extraordinary pictures do to and for ordinary people. That's why we need this.
