Photography on canvas

2024

18 x 14 in.

My photography is an ode to being present enough to notice, and conscious enough to preserve what might otherwise pass unnoticed. There is effort, and sometimes sacrifice, in interrupting an experience to capture it. But that interruption feels worthwhile when the moment can be shared with those who weren’t there to experience it with me. Part intention, part accident, and entirely driven by curiosity, my work explores familiar moments and offers them back to the world as something worth pausing for.
