Brave Life so far and stepping out into the world for her first exclusive magazine portrait ! @xychelsea87 in our series for @nytmag . When I asked her what word she'd write on her hand , she replied : "I am a millennial , I'd write LOVE ❤️ . ". For me that summed it all up: it all begins and ends with love, the lack of, the longing for, the finding of LOVE. #chelseamanning styled by @alexwhiteedits wearing @brandonmaxwell hair by @hairbychristiaan make up by @fulviafarolfi . The trust and immediate connection between subject and photographer is why we LOVE our job. Kisses iv thank you #chasestrangio #transrights
