PHOTOGRAPHY
Based in New York and Los Angeles, the work spans street photography, portraiture, and documentary-driven campaigns, photographed across the U.S. and internationally. Rooted in observation, the images focus on people and places before performance takes over—where labor, culture, and identity quietly surface. Recent projects include a national Home Depot campaign shot at 5:45 a.m. with real customers at the start of their workday; an intimate portrait series at the world-famous Dan Tana’s in West Hollywood, photographed over two nights; and performance photographs at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles. Across all work, the sensibility remains cinematic, human, and grounded in lived experience.
