I jumped straight into film photography a few years ago and never looked back. I’ve actually never owned a digital camera. My core focus is portraits, usually set outdoors in natural light.

Before picking up a camera, I was a fairly self-centered person. Portrait photography completely shifted my perspective. It forced me to turn my focus outward, set my ego aside, and appreciate the beauty in others. Learning to capture people authentically in their element has been a deeply transformative experience for me.

My signature style relies on natural light, a dreamy quality and a quiet connection between the subject and nature.
