Manya Naranzogt: The Hum of Memories
My Love (2019)
“To me, love is between people, laughing friends, and in the loyal touches of animals. I wanted to convey the love and wonder I have for the natural world and the electric hum that places with memories hold. The cityscape has a distinct loveless feel, the fading forrest always reminds me of a familiar face.”

Softest Touch (2019)
“I took this in Santa Cruz on my first acid trip and I was captivated at the loving intimacy between my friend and his boyfriend.
The shot captures their soft touches and protects their identities,
becoming a mash of limbs.”
