Quote:
"Photographer Jheyda McGarrell created 'Christina's Portfolio' [for The Photograph]. She was finishing her thesis at NYU when I asked her if she'd do it. Her work made Christina's history feel lived in on-screen. It was important for me to find a woman of color to represent the character and to find artists that represented Mae to fill her apartment like Delita Martin, Mequitta Ahuja and Ervin A. Johnson."
