Documentary and portrait photographer chasing honest light. I shoot people in the places that made them. Published, exhibited, and most at home on a train to somewhere I've never been.

About

I bought my first camera to have an excuse to talk to strangers. Fifteen years later that's still the job: earn a little trust, wait for the moment people forget the lens, and press the shutter. My work lives between documentary and portraiture — projects on migration, coastal communities, and the quiet rituals of ordinary days. I print everything. A photo isn't finished until it's on paper.

Photograph people with dignity, and the ordinary like it's worth remembering.
