About

I take photographs as a heavily stylized documentation of my life. My work masquerades as portraiture but relies on the landscapes depicted rather than the people. Human subjects attract the viewer to the composition, but once their attention has been captured, it is the background and other seemingly incidental details of the images that work to retain attention. 

Often depicted is that which connects people but is constructed: transportation, architecture, infrastructure and technology. These elements connect the individual to the much larger modern, industrialized world that they inhabit. The cohabitation of these manmade elements with nature in the frame contextualizes this modern world as not a given, but as a collection of remarkable and specific phenomena that we are compelled to witness as humans living in the 21st century.
