Photographs are a window into our collective soul. Affirmation. Reformation. Confirmation. The single most powerful means of communication. A single photograph can unite, divide, change, and ultimately bond us together in the shared human experience.

I love people. Connecting. Sharing. Being in the world. I aim to make seemingly ordinary moments extraordinary through the lens. As a photographer, I enter lives, sometimes for only a fleeting moment, and slip away without my presence being known. Other times, I'm a deliberate, persistent presence in someone's space. I take something from every person I photograph. I try to give something in exchange. It is my hope that every photograph that comes through me creates empathy and agency for the people I experience in the world.

I study people near and far. I aim to unite through intimacy and quiet conversations. This is how I define my approach. This is why I photograph.
