For too long the word feminism has been a relatively exclusive term - defined by out dated, archival images of burning bras and anti-male sentiments. Feminism, however, is simply the belief that men and women should have equal rights.
The feminists in today's world (at least, the ones in a position to change things) are men - men who believe women should have the same opportunities that they do. This series shines a spotlight on those men who are taking the lead, in what has now been, a 170 year fight for gender equality. These are 'The New Feminists.'

I photographed this portrait series in August of 2013 while my then fiancé and I summered in Sweden.
With our Swedish counterparts we swam and boated in the idyllic Archipelago, weekended in lake houses, collected fresh forest berries and attended overly festive crayfish parties.
It wasn't long before we realised that Sweden was indeed perfect. Well almost perfect... the Swedes conceed.
It turns out Nordic winters are dreadfully cold and dark. Recording sometimes only four to six hours of sunlight a day. Seemly this could be the contributing factor to their unusually high suicide rate or could explain the unfortunate rise of ABBA.
