I am a photographer who utilizes my camera as a tool to record my exploration of the way humans live and interact with each other and their surroundings. Taking a sociological approach to documenting people and places is a way I portray narrative. Documenting people, whether they are my friends, family, or strangers, I seek to learn about them and connect with them through my work. Examining people, the relationships they form, the routines they create, and the lives they lead is an opportunity to let viewers be a part of a story that is bigger than their own, and that is what motivates me to photograph.
