Portraits

Studio, rooftop, ocean. The frame gets closer; the rule stays the same: light first, character always.

Found, never staged

Street work first: the city after dark, strangers caught mid-gesture, the quiet geometry of an empty block. The portrait and fashion frames sit alongside it, but the through-line is the same. Light, character, and a sense of place, found rather than staged.

Based in New York City. Available for portrait, editorial, and fashion commissions, and always walking.
