The Root of Curiosity & Imperfection
My journey with photography began as a child, holding an analog camera and looking for things most people walked right past. From the start, I was drawn to abstract photography. It taught me how to freeze a surreal, fleeting scene and preserve it for myself. Starting with analog also shaped my broader philosophy, it taught me to love imperfection, the grain, the unpredictable light, the raw honesty of a frame. In life and art, I look for genuine ones. My artistic practice grows from this kind of observation and lived experience, shaped by restlessness and a deep curiosity about the world.
The Space Between Moments
I work as a photographer balanced between personal art and production. In my personal work, I focus heavily on perception, movement, and the quiet spaces between moments. I am naturally prone to black and white photography because it offers a contemplative pause. Without the immediate, distracting "wow" factor of a colorful mix, the viewer is invited to look deeper. It forces a focus on light, shadow, and texture. By working mostly in black and white, I often use abstraction to leave room for interpretation rather than fixed meaning.
Color, Presence, and Production
Of course, the world is colorful, and I still capture it that way because colors evoke distinct emotions that connect us to reality as we know it. This sensitivity to emotion carries directly into my commercial and production work. Alongside my art, I document live performances and events, collaborating closely with artists and organizers to translate fleeting, dynamic moments into honest, attentive images.
Across both my personal art and my production work, I value presence and sensitivity. Whether I am chasing an abstract shadow or capturing a live performance, my goal is simply to stay open to whatever wants to reveal itself.
