"Do What You Love & Love What You Do"
Artist's Statement
I use photography as a means to document the world around me. I create images that draw attention to things that other people often overlook. My work is characterized by a timeless and ethereal quality, where the imperfections of the subject, camera, or technique are highlighted as an integral part of the image.
I use all types of cameras in my work, most often older film cameras and Polaroid materials, which can give surprising results at times. My goal is to take pictures that make people think outside the box, to look at things differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective.
