Today is my birthday! Here’s a picture of my butt! Support my book on Kickstarter! It’s about rituals and resistance! Faye Daniels took this picture!

Seven years ago Faye Daniels met Katie West in a hotel room in Toronto. They got naked, took photos, and then afterwards decided to get to know each other. They realised they had much more in common than a love of self-portraiture and photography. They’re both the same age and both born in September. They both use self-portraiture as a form of therapy. They both have a brother four years younger. They both worked at Kelsey’s in their youth. They both love 2000s RnB. They both drink way too much Diet Coke. They both have amazing women in their lives named Kaye, and before they met, had never heard of anyone else with that name before. They both live for pizza. They’re both interested in exploring honesty, femininity, strength, and vulnerability through their photos. They both love photo adventures with no maps and the open road. And they both have no problem ordering mozzarella sticks for breakfast.
Since then Faye and Katie have traveled together to Upstate New York, Columbus, Montreal, Iceland, and countless other road trips to shoot each other and other babes. For their latest adventure to Hawaii, you can expect gorgeous scenery, a lot of car signing to Childish Gambino, nudity in all the most appropriate and inappropriate places, and spectacular photos of a couple of babes who’ve spent nearly a decade getting very good at shooting and modeling with one another.

Katie West and Faye Daniels are creating the third volume of BABEFEST magazine, a publication of photography that celebrates babes. We’ve been shooting together for seven years and have been the core of BABEFEST magazine for the first two volumes.
We really love having photo adventures and exploring what it means to be a babe in this patriarchal world, and we don’t think these two things need to be mutually exclusive. BABEFEST Vol 3: Hot & Cold will be over 150 pages of high quality, full-colour photographs delivered straight to you.
In 2016 we traveled to Iceland and took EPIC photos at black sand beaches, secluded mountain cabins, haunted hidden caves, freezing glacier lakes, and magical waterfalls. But then we never really showed the photos to anyone. In May, we’re heading to Hawaii to take more EPIC photos at more waterfalls, in the ocean, the mountains, the forests! We thought oh wait! We should collect the two photo trips together in BABEFEST Volume 3 and call it Hot & Cold! Because it’s hot in Hawaii and cold in Iceland. Get it? We are very clever. :D
This Kickstarter is only running for 3 weeks and it’s the only way you can pick up BABEFEST Vol 3: Hot & Cold! It’s also the only way for you to pick up some excellent personalised rewards like postcards, Instax photos, and dance videos! Whatever funds are leftover will be helping to fund our trip to Hawaii.

My copy of BABEFEST finally came while I was away in Canada. It’s pretty beat up (is this MagCloud’s fault? The Royal Main’s fault? Who knows!), but inside it’s beautiful! I love it, and not just because I helped make it.
I had actually finished the entire magazine a lot earlier in the year, but decided I hadn’t taken enough risks and pushed myself enough to learn while making it. So I started all over again and tried to make it more interesting. I learned A LOT, including spending many, many hours figuring out how to make a neon light sign with Photoshop.
Anyway,you should buy it. :)
