Personal Work
Vintage
When I first got into photography, I didn’t just become obsessed with making photographs – I became obsessed with cameras. I spent 5 years working in an film lab, one of the only labs in the country that still processed old expired films. During this time I would go to garage sales and junk stores, collecting cameras, cleaning them up, huinting down films, and shooting with them. Each camera gave me a different feeling. Each camera saw the world in a different way, and in turn forced me to see it in a different way. For years I would carry multiple cameras with me, capture mundane life moments, and eventually develop and create a book from the images. Below are a few selected works from “Vintage”.
Background
Biography
I am a Video Editor and Digital Artist with 20+ years in photography and post-processing, 7+ years of professional video editing, and 4+ years as a senior agency lead. My creative approach, deeply informed by an MFA in Photography, merges fine-art intuition with custom-built automated workflows and modern AI pipelines. This allows me to bring a distinct, systematized visual perspective to every project.
My personal work has been exhibited in galleries across the East Coast, featured in solo performances, and published in FRAMES Magazine. My current practice sits at the intersection of the analog and the digital,blending low-tech toy cameras and experimental optics with super-weird editing and custom automated actions to explore the possibilities of imagery.
