Documentary Photographer
Portfolio
In pursuit of capturing moments that lead to transformation.
Series
My passion is to find light in the darkness, beauty in the ashes, capturing moments in time, places, and most importantly, people. By documenting their stories through my images, I seek to raise awareness and move my viewers emotions, awakening in them a new perspective.
Exhibitions
The purpose of capturing places and peoples stories, and being able to document them wouldn't be completed if the work I create was shown anywhere.
There is something about seeing the images in a physical form, which makes each part of the process so important and valuable, since it gives life to those represented by my work. Without the exhibitions this wouldn't be possible
Alternative Projects
As I seek to find the beauty in each person, no matter the circumstances, I also like to explore how to present my work in different ways, to enhance the stories and represent those that I get the opportunity to photograph, in a more accurate way.
I have discovered the use of mixed media to create installations, or develop my ideas in a way to be presented far away from just the four walls of a gallery.
