Lighting Photo Story

Ian Ribbon Cambell is a 43-year-old radical faerie that lives in Woodbury, Tenn. Cambell is part of the Music City Sisters, as Sista Enya Face. My story is of a not so average man. Cambell lives 98% off the grid of the world. He uses solar panels and collects rainwater. Radical faeries in three words are, queer, hippy, pagans. While living off the grid he is a very active member of the Music City Sisters. The sisters are flamboyant nuns that raise awareness and volunteer for the GLBT community. My story was of Ian and his life as an not so average man. With different layers of his life. Focusing the story on his life as a Sista and a faerie.
