In a world where people are often seen but rarely witnessed, I create space for authentic encounter—where people, places, and stories are met with care, and viewers are invited to slow down, extend hospitality, and reconnect with our shared humanity.

My work emerges from years of guiding people through transformation, bringing that capacity for deep listening into visual practice. Building on traditions of collaborative documentary while challenging photography's history of extractive and objectifying practices, I'm interested in the mystery of who we become when we feel safe to be ourselves.

Whether exploring the soul of place, documenting lives often overlooked, or creating intimate portraits, I begin with the same question: How do we hold space for another’s full humanity? My approach is meditative and collaborative—working in black and white with natural light, using pared-back setups that invite presence. Each person I photograph has a say in how they’re represented. I’m drawn to this simplicity as a way to stay close to what matters most.

Recent work includes a 6-page photo essay on Hurricane Helene featured in The Sun magazine, as well as ongoing portrait projects exploring the interplay between inner and outer identity. Whether working with people or places, I'm investigating what it means to witness with dignity. Much of my current work focuses on communities affected by poverty and houselessness—confronting the fears, judgments, and prejudices that keep us distant and safe in our silos. Projects like UnLabel Poverty begin locally but address universal patterns of how we see and dismiss each other.

Each encounter becomes an invitation—for subjects to come home to themselves, and for viewers to slow down and see with greater presence in a world shaped by complexity, accelerated change, and digital distraction.

This is also how I evolve—through attunement to the person, place, or moment before me, entering a shared field of attention where relationship allows meaning to emerge.
