As a photographer and filmmaker, I aim to provoke thought, spark conversations, and inspire positive change. I want to challenge preconceptions, invite empathy, and encourage viewers to engage with the world around them on a deeper level. I firmly believe that by shining a light on the struggles and triumphs of others, we can foster compassion and build bridges across cultures, fostering a more empathetic and inclusive society.
When capturing a still or moving image, or when directing a film, I take all the variables and elements into consideration and spend a great deal of time trying to see things in a less than literal way, and I firmly believe this to be essential and a key part of my process.
Dramatic skies and dark, textural tones are a trademark in my landscape photography, but can frequently be seen in my cinematography and street portraits in much the same way. I use a variety of tools to create my work, but I tend to favor vintage 35mm and Medium Format film cameras and Super 35mm digital cinema cameras with fast, prime lenses.
The chaos and constant state of flux in the world I use to my advantage and would not be able to create what I do without it.”
