About
Hi there! I love working with people and it’s important for me to to channel a relaxed environment so my subjects feel at ease and comfortable. I will gravitate between director and documentarian throughout any given shoot, creating space to capture natural reactions in any context. I find this style of shooting has a way of shining through in the final images. Depending on the type of session, I’ll often shoot on 35mm & 120mm film.
I hold a BA in Photojournalism and Studio Art from UNC-Chapel Hill. Grants from UNC and The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University enabled me to work on a range of multimedia projects in remote areas of the world. To this day, whether it’s a commercial assignment or a life milestone, I aim to capture time as vividly as one can.
