I use photography as a means to document the world around me. My choice of subject
comes from a place of intuition and is impulsed by a natural desire to partake in the
stories that unfold around me. I seek the unknown and I look for the light within the
shadows, the stories beneath the surface and the uncommon in the common. My goal
is to use my camera like Alice’s rabbit hole, to open an unexplored world, a place of
curious self expression, and most importantly a place where new stories are created.
