Western Massachusetts photographer Carin Teresa came to photography by an unusual route- through the management of multiple medical conditions and the extreme pain and discomfort they brought.

Finding relief (spiritual and physical) with cold water therapy in the wild brooks and rivers of western Massachusetts, Carin began offering her photographic services to others in the name of emotional healing, belonging, embodied self-love, and naked empowerment. This exhibit features portraits of bodies in nature, the result of the documentation of this healing.
