Remembering
This series was inspired by the personal black and white work of Saul Leiter. He captured intimate moments of daily life with his partner, free from pretense and polish. I sought to achieve a similar feeling by working with someone I was very familiar with, Angel.

I wanted to capture mundane moments such as: getting ready for the day, reading, thinking, resting, and boredom. I layered elements of the setting in the foreground and background to contribute to the familiar yet voyeuristic point of view.

My First Photo Road Trip
This series follows a 5-day journey I took with Roarie and Riona up into Southern California, through Nevada, and up through Utah. We visited incredible structures and sites within nature and their human form melded with forms in nature.
The US is a gigantic country and I’ve seen very little of it. So when Roarie mentioned she had an opening for a photo trip I leapt at the opportunity. Roarie was traveling with Riona and the trip would be 5 days of driving, camping, and photographing. Roarie had done a lot of scouting in the western states and she created an itinerary based on things I was interested in and the best times of days to arrive and shoot at those locations. We departed from southern California and made our way a few hours north, we then traveled east through the bottom tip of Nevada, into Utah and up through the state. It was an incredible trip that was the highlight of my year.
