Projects
Noah
This collection of photographs all feature my brother, Noah. Through many family vacations, bored around the house, or being my stand in for a test shot, I have accumulated this very cherished collection of images. Looking at them all together, strange as it is (but not really), they represent him very well. He isn’t a big smiler, sweet tooth, highly creative and always drawing, likes to dig holes at the beach, and a super nerd when it comes to comics.
Photographing Strangers
Portraits of the many people I encounter on a daily basis. After years of building up the courage to ask strangers on the street to take their photo, Photographing Strangers was born. I use these photographs as a reminder of my own growth and a reminder of how amazing it is to exist in this world as a human.
Tourism
Inspired by the peculiar, funny, genuine, sometimes oblivious, precious human reactions and actions when exploring the country’s natural beauty.
Family Work
Photographs of my family.

Summer Carnivals
On-going series of the wonderful and weird experiences of carnivals.
Rasputin
Inspired by the framing of Wes Anderson and the unconventionality of What We Do In the Shadows, I present to you, Rasputin - one of my most prized possessions. This video always makes me laugh and I hope it makes you laugh as well.
To kill time when we were all stuck at home in 2020, I filmed my brother and our friends dressed in goofy costumes running around our neighborhood in Chicago. Friends from far away sent in videos they recorded of themselves lip syncing the hilarious Rasputin lyrics by Boney M (Club Mix).
I simply love it. Thank you for watching.
America the Borderland:
A Moral Courage Project
“The Moral Courage Project is a program of the University of Dayton Human Rights Center in collaboration with PROOF: Media for Social Justice that aims to tell the stories of “upstanders” (those who refuse to be bystanders), and identify and celebrate individuals who take risks to make important contributions in their communities during moments of crisis.” To read more and explore the full body of work please click here.
