Photoshoot for APU

In April 2025 I did a photoshoot for Apu magazine.
They asked me to cover a photoshoot with the brave and strong Tracey Haga.

Apu magazine:
”It took 22 years for Tracey from Petalax to have her birthmark removed.
The birthmark that covered a third of her back could not be removed all at once.
Tracey Haga from Ostrobothnia had her skin stretched for years with expanders weighing up to one kilogram.
She was bullied mercilessly at school, and the pain was severe.
”If I think about myself as a child and the amount of pain I had to experience, of course it was terrible.” says Tracey Haga.
(text translated from Finnish to English)

And of course thank you to Tracey for trusting me with this shoot.
