Residing in New Bedford, Massachusetts, I am eager to travel to create, and continue to learn new processes along the way. Beginning in 2015, I moved from digital to 35mm, gravitated to medium and large format, and also thoroughly enjoy the pleasures of using wet plate collodion.
As an analog photographer, the process of working with film allows me to slow down and remain present in the moment in space; it demands patience, intention, and a deep connection to the act of creation.
Through my personal work, I explore themes of mortality, impermanence, loss, isolation, and the emotional states of feeling trapped or lost. Each image is an echo of my internal landscape—an honest expression of my personal struggles and reflections on the fragility of life.
Film itself, with its limitations and imperfections, adds emphasis to the vulnerability felt in confronting these themes, allowing the images to become a form of catharsis and self-expression. It is a quiet, contemplative process that offers the space to acknowledge and articulate emotions, inviting others to share in that reflection.
