My friend Dasha is from Ukraine and moved to the U.K. for school, which is where we met five years ago. She wants to become an actress and has moved to an arts school in central London. After, she hopes to go to L.A to realize her dream.

We took these pictures a few days before school started. Just being with her I could feel her incredible excitement. She could not wait to begin her new journey. She is determined, ambitious, and unwavering. An infinite number of possibilities await her, and I know she’ll throw her everything into it.

Thank you to Dasha for modeling.
