Work that lives where experience and archive meet

I document spaces by returning to them, with time, film, and intention. Through photographs, essays, and conversation, I create work that helps people experience a place rather than simply see it. Shot on 35mm and medium format film. Guided by curiosity. Always accompanied by Azulu.

Monument House is live, a documentary essay on my first self-directed residency at Homestead Modern in Joshua Tree. On light, architecture, and what it means to move through a space designed to make you look.

Episode 4 of In The Frame arrives October 2, on practice, the long game, and what it means to keep showing up for the work.

Shooting on 35mm Minolta SRT-101 and Mamiya RB67. Taking commissions for fall 2026, architecture, boutique hospitality, and documentary weddings. Inquiries open.
