About

Photography has always been my first love, but when I am able to expand the imagery into video, cinemagraphs/gifs, or in a book, it becomes even more exciting; taking on new and sometimes magical forms. I believe the visual language is full of untapped potential and I am always looking for unique ways to speak aesthetically. I also love being a smaller piece of larger productions; one of my most exciting jobs to date was as the Lighting Technician on a Vogue cover story featuring Cardi B. I consider it a considerable honor to be able to work with incredible artists whose projects inspire me. Every job I take feels like an exciting new opportunity to enjoy this profession. When I'm not taking photos or making art, I spend time biking, reading, or hanging out with my dog, Lady. My guilty pleasure is watching bigfoot/alien sighting videos!
