I appreciate the raw reality of everyday life, the fleeting beauty of those in-between moments, and I do my very best to take every picture with that in mind. I want my viewers to relate to my photographs through recognition of and familiarity with the situations, the emotions, and the energy so much that they wonder if they are looking at a picture of someone they know.
I am fortunate to be able to spend a good amount of time on freelance/personal projects, traveling and collaborating with a team of rad people. I live and work in London and am a sucker for assignments where I have the opportunity to travel. Photography is my calling, my profession, and the thing that will undoubtedly drive me insane someday. I don't photograph subjects. I photograph the way they make me feel. Admittedly, it's a bit of a strange concept. But it's honest – and it's the best way to describe my approach to the craft.
