Statement

Photography is often used as a means and method of capturing a memory, time, event, or place. I garner inspiration from the world and its various scenes around me, and I’m fascinated with how the people and objects within these places act and the roles that are presented to them; from quiet and vast to up close, loud, and sometimes bordering on invasive. Through various different methods of capture, I try to explore these scenes, objects, and people, and aim to further discover how what they interact within the landscapes that surround them.
