My photographs grow out of direct engagement with subjects: they are never posed or premeditated. In revealing authentic beauty, I hope to help bridge over visible differences to reveal common ground. Too often, we do the opposite, bonding over superficial commonalities while weaponizing our differences.
There is, today, an excess of dissonance in social media and the arts. I have no interest in adding to it; rather, I hope to ground us in more ancient things.
