I’m a film photographer based in the Hudson Valley, New York. I studied Photography at Bard College. Having lived abroad in Greece, Albania, London, and Morocco, I’m drawn to the aesthetic realities of culture and place. Photography is my primary tool for interacting with my surroundings.

Before focusing fully on photography, I worked for years in hospitality. This experience sharpened my sensitivity to shared environment and care. Within kitchens and dining rooms, I became attuned to the details that shape a euphoric gathering: light falling across a table, uproarious laughter, hands in motion, the flow of service. This foundation naturally led me to photograph hospitality settings with an insider’s understanding, capturing the action and the feeling of being there.

Process has always been a huge driver of my work – my own, but also those of other artists, creatives, and makers. Starting with the darkroom in college, I fell in love with the process of using film; developing, agitating, and eventually, witnessing the photograph emerge. Now, whether it is art or craft, food or event, I love to document process. The humans behind it interest me more than what is actually produced. 

My personal process is still largely film-oriented. I entrust my film scans with an expert lab before they are returned to me. I then meticulously edit them by hand, and deliver them to a client or to my own personal archive. While film may seem at times impractical or too expensive, I consider it to be the most poetic and painterly medium for photography, qualities that are significant to my work. In our times, the analogue process only gains more inherent value, and I intend to keep it alive.
