A collection of photographs — Los Angeles and elsewhere, shot on film.
Individual, family, and personal branding portraits in natural light, shot with the same candid, documentary eye as the rest of this work. Less posed, more natural and true to who you are.
Storytelling work for publications, brands, and personal projects. Observational, unscripted, built around real moments rather than staged ones.
Low-key coverage of gatherings, celebrations, and milestones — capturing what's actually happening as it happens, not a string of posed group shots.
