Jacquie Ray: Inspiration | Part One (NSFW)

By Julian Lucas

Although we have come a long way, in today's society we still struggle with identity, race, and sexuality. Jacquie Ray pushes the boundaries with her visually intriguing imagery that may not be pleasing to some. Jacquie focuses her attention on both the male and female body with vivid color saturation and high contrast. She challenges her viewers not for the sake of shock value or for controversy, but for people to understand and be comfortable within themselves.

We were invited to go behind the scenes and ask Jacquie some questions and get footage of her photo session. The video contains nudity and a sexual theme.
