ARTIST STATEMENT
I go out, explore, and trust that anything that catches my eye is worth capturing in a photograph. I am inspired by taking a small detail or somewhat insignificant location we might otherwise miss due to our fast-paced lives and present it in an interesting way. I work with digital and film with a higher concentration in color film and natural lighting. My main influences have been, William Eggleston, Richard Billingham and Petra Collins.
