QUOTES:
“I was a sports-averse kid, particularly team sports. As an adult, I challenged myself to join the Toronto Triggerfish, an LGBTQ water polo team. This gave me a chance to face my fears and to find community through sport; it also helped me write the character of Caitlin. She has her own issues with being part of a team. It was a thrill to bring these elements together in this photoshoot.”
–Steven Bereznai, Author of I Want Superpowers
“Whenever someone asks me what superpower I’d like, the answer is to breath underwater. I also hope all my subjects walk away feeling like superheroes. It was fun to play with that during this shoot for I Want Superpowers.”
–Lucas Murnaghan, Underwater Photographer
