My photos are informal and anchored in real life. I like to show a sense of humour and see people and places like they’re being viewed through the eyes of a friend. I love photography because I’m in love with that split second you would miss without it. Throughout my work, but especially in the beginning when I photographed clubs in the mid 00’s, I was heavily focused on photographing people in those in between happy moments, like dancing in a packed club in the city, feeling beautiful and free. I was influenced at the time by photographers documenting Los Angeles night life and creating celebrities by way of their respective blogs. In later and more recent work, I want to keep seeing authentic smiles in my photographs, but also explore other emotions available to me. I’ve also committed to making inclusivity a main pillar of my photography practice. My current work always reflects my community but also the communities growing around me that have graciously allows me access to their lives, businesses, and passions. I have a strong desire to really know those people who let me in and trust me to show the world how their friends see them.
