ABOUT ME

PORTRAIT & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER

Biography

I am a dedicated photographer with a passion for capturing the extraordinary in everyday moments. Based in New York City, my work focuses on landscape, portrait, and street photography. Through my lens, I strive to reveal the hidden stories that surround us.

My journey in photography began when I received my first camera as a teenager. Since then, I've developed a style that combines dramatic lighting with minimalist composition. My influences range from classic portrait photographers like Richard Avedon to contemporary artists who push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

When I'm not photographing, I explore hiking trails, study art history, and teach photography workshops. These experiences continuously shape my perspective and enrich my visual storytelling. I believe that photography is not just about documenting what exists, but rather about revealing what might otherwise remain unseen.

MY APPROACH

Light & Composition

My photography is guided by the interplay of light and shadow, authentic human connection, and finding beauty in simplicity. I believe that powerful images don't just show what something looks like—they reveal how it feels to be there.

Storytelling

Each project begins with careful observation and patience, building rapport with subjects, and studying the location's unique qualities. This mindful approach allows me to create images that are both visually striking and emotionally resonant.
