The Practice

An evolving body of photographic and digital work rooted in attentive looking.

Through available light, intuitive observation, and selective transformation, the practice explores the connection between people and place, the familiar and the overlooked, and the image and the viewer's memory.

"I photograph intuitively, responding to available light, unexpected arrangements, and the character of a place or subject. My work begins with attention: to a person resting outdoors, light passing through a forest, leaves against gravel, a worn painted surface, or a face held in a quiet expression. In editing, I refine the image while preserving its sense of discovery."
