Photography
Photography has been an essential part of my life for the past three years. Through my Fujifilm X-S20, I’ve found a sense of calm and clarity in observing the world more intentionally. Photography allows me to tell stories that go beyond people and places—it reflects emotion, perspective, and personal growth. Every frame captures a moment in time, shaped by how I see the world, and invites others to share in that view.
Portraits
I began my portrait photography practice two years ago, employing natural light, controlled shadow, and thoughtful composition to create portraits with a sophisticated, understated aesthetic. Each image is crafted to convey presence, character, and clarity.
Product Photography
I led product photography in 2025 at William Barthman, specializing in luxury watches and fine jewelry. My work focuses on capturing the intricate details and craftsmanship of each piece, highlighting the precision, materials, and hand-finished elements that define high-end design. In addition to product-focused imagery, I produce lifestyle photography for William Barthman’s SMS campaigns, website banners, and service department marketing, ensuring visual consistency across digital touchpoints.
Street Photography - Views
Views explores the relationship between space and perspective. Drawing from street and environmental photography, this series focuses on composition, scale, and the subtle interactions between nature, architecture, and daily life. The work emphasizes observation over intervention, allowing scenes to speak for themselves.
Street Photography - Shadows
Shadows explores how light and absence shape the rhythm of the street. Through contrast, silhouette, and controlled exposure, this series captures fleeting moments where human presence is suggested rather than defined—allowing shadow to become the subject itself.
Street Photography
People centers on candid moments and unguarded expressions found in public spaces. Through street photography, this series captures strangers as they move through everyday life—brief encounters where emotion, posture, and gesture reveal quiet narratives without interruption or staging.
Motion Photos
Motion captures movement as a form of expression. Shot primarily in Venice Beach, this series focuses on action photography for small sports and everyday athletic moments. Through precise timing, intentional motion blur, and controlled framing, the work documents scenes where energy, gesture, and rhythm define the subject—freezing motion just long enough to reveal its structure.
Architecture
Architecture often reminds me of the “Accidentally Wes Anderson” aesthetic, where composition becomes the foundation of storytelling. I’m drawn to the details—symmetry, precision, and balance—that create a sense of order with a touch of playfulness. Through vibrant colors, distinctive structures, and unexpected details, each space reveals its own quiet narrative.
