I just want to photograph people I like, for people I like.
And I like a lot of people.

I'm a documentary photographer in NYC. I've also been called a humanist photographer and I like how that sounds.

A little history: I used to hesitate when it came to photographing people. I'd freeze and fall back on the familiar. But then I had my lightbulb moment and realized that those who've been through something - or are still in the thick of it - want to be seen. Whether it's something beautiful, painful, messy, or just human - they want to be acknowledged and recognized. But only if it feels safe. Only if the interest is real.

So fast forward a long time and I now only photograph people (and lately, cool-looking architecture). Making a connection and telling a story are what fills my tank, and if the ability to do that doesn't exist, I wouldn't be doing justice to a project.

Instead, I bring a documentary and narrative style to all my professional work. Regardless of the assignment - whether I’m photographing for nonprofit, corporate, or editorial clients - I show up with honesty, curiosity, and heart. Not just because it's how I try to move through the world, but also because I think the heart tells a better story than the brain.

Whether it's the work I've done that spotlights people who've experienced acts of gun violence or stories of compassion and community resilience, I want to document and bear witness to the inspirational and the deep bonds people have - with each other or the places they call home. I'm drawn to what feels hopeful and human - moments that reflect our shared humanity and remind us what matters.

I love people who are passionate about one thing and go all in. I love people who do the glamorous and unglamorous jobs that keep everything running. I love people who are on the front lines, doing the work that needs to be done. I love people who show up every day, even when it's hard. Those are the people I want to photograph.
