Photography allows me to express how I see the world around me. I choose subjects that reflect my thoughts and feelings, aiming to reveal moments of daily life that highlight the beauty found within them. My photographs capture the day as it arrives, wonder swirling around us, only to disappear. Diversity in my work reflects my values of authenticity and compassion, which are rooted in my fascination with life's nuances. Ultimately, I intend to produce images that engage viewers and invite them to derive their own interpretations, informed by their distinct backgrounds and experiences.
My photographic projects focus on examining overlooked details and creating order in a chaotic world. I immerse myself in my environment to uncover stories that aren't obvious to the average observer. For example, in my project “The Promise,” I documented neighborhoods and everyday scenes in Atlantic City that visitors rarely notice or prefer not to see.
At the beginning of my career, I used analog black-and-white techniques. Now digital photography lets me explore color. Its vibrancy and depth make every moment feel alive. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the stories behind the images. Seeing and working in a digital environment has opened new possibilities. With immediate feedback, I can adapt quickly to changing conditions and have greater control over my images. Influenced by Joel Meyerowitz and Saul Lieter's street photographic images, which resonate with me. I also learned from and admire Sam Abell’s patient approach to photography, with his layered framing from back to front to create compelling images.
