It has a magnetic quality and it causes you to want to lean toward that person, lean in, listen deeper, see clearer, understand more thoroughly.

“The things that are most attractive to me now are more about what’s on the inside vs. the outside.

Don’t get me wrong, a strong sense of style is still something that catches my eye but it’s more about ‘owning’ it vs. wearing it.” Lani Faith was interviewed and photographed in 2022 at the age of 58 by Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the portrait studio in Sherwood, Oregon.
