Artist Statement

For me, photography has always been, and will continue to be, about capturing moments that people can look back on or look forward to. There’s something so comforting about looking back at older pictures and something so exciting about looking at new ones, and those feelings are what I aim to cultivate, especially through portrait photography. I enjoy photographing people so that they are able to see an image that captures them in a way that's completely different from how they would typically view themselves. I’m definitely inspired by the work of portrait photographer, Brandon Woelfel, as he implements things like unconventional lighting, blur, and different props to really elevate simple portraits. That said, I hope you enjoy viewing my work, and that it inspires you to go out and just take some pictures!
