Summary

Creative director and dual-purpose photographer that subject matter often captures either emotionally charged work or creating memories throughout my journey in life. These images and scenes are created in both B&W along with color while being shot behind the lens of a Sony A7 IV. Aims to create a sense of intimacy and nostalgia through my work. I love being able to connect to my audience while also creating a shared space in the work, aiming for the audience to be able to place themselves into the photos that have been made. When I first started photographing, Always wanted to capture pictures and record the places to be able to look back and have those moments on display. While creating more work, have started to pay attention to the emotional side of my work while still wanting to allow for the pictures to be looked at with a sense of remembrance. Understanding the difference between making a photo vs taking a picture has shaped approach to work made today.
