Artist Statement

I approach photography not just as an art form but as a means of everyday storytelling and cultural documentation. I am drawn to the interaction between people and their environments, and the subtle, often unspoken narratives that shape our lives. Photography is a journey into the unseen, the overlooked, and the ephemeral.

Other Projects:

  • Member of the Foundation Contributors Council of The Local East Village (LEV), a partnership between The New York Times and the Arthur L. Carter School of Journalism at New York University. The LEV was an experiment in the production and dissemination of “hyper-local” media. I contributed images that matched stories of happenings in the East Village and participated in the project's overall direction.
