My Story

Living all over the world, I've seen many beautiful places and have met even more beautiful people. As an artist, I yearn to capture the universe's beauty.Much of my work is self-initiated. Focusing on exploring the overlap between photography and cinematography in portraiture. I enjoy capturing portraits of individuals in spaces and situations that feel liminal or 'just like a movie'.

My commission work primarily consists of my traditional portrait and event photography where I work to capture moments of joy and the raw emotions of the individuals there. 

Capturing photos isn't the only way I appreciate and worship the earth that we inhabit. Watercolor painting is another form of expression I enjoy doing to capture landscapes and architecture. Prints of these are available.I am currently working to capture candid moments of gatherings and events as well as pose portraiture that emulates cinematography.
