let's talk!

Photography is more than images — it’s an act of translation.

Translating textures, movements, and moments into visuals that hold weight. Whether I’m working with a fashion house, an artisan brand, or a private collector, my goal is the same: to create photographs that feel intentional, bold, and timeless.

My process is grounded in simplicity — observing, listening, noticing.

I work closely with you to understand the essence of your brand or vision, and then build a visual narrative that reflects it with honesty and depth.

What I offer lives in two distinct spaces: editorial campaigns for brands who want to merge artistry with identity, and fine art & commissions for those who see photography as presence, poetry, and memory.

Editorial Campaigns

Visual storytelling for brands with a voice.

I create editorial campaigns that merge bold imagery with organic authenticity. Each project is shaped around your brand’s essence — distilled into movement, light, and form.

From sustainable fashion houses to lifestyle brands, my process is collaborative, intentional, and designed to leave you with images that are striking, timeless, and true.

Perfect for fashion lookbooks, product launches, lifestyle campaigns, and brand editorials.

Fine Art & Commissions

Photography as presence.

Beyond commercial collaborations, I create fine art projects and commissioned works collected by galleries, private clients, and creative spaces. Each series is pared down to its essence — fragments of silence, gestures of time, organic textures captured with restraint.

Whether exhibited, hung in a home, or commissioned as a personal story, these images are designed to hold meaning far beyond a single moment.

Perfect for galleries, collectors, and custom projects with a poetic edge.

Every collaboration is rooted in listening.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief:

Photography should hold presence. I am drawn to the quiet details — fabric in motion, a fleeting gesture, the way light shifts across a face. My vision is to create images that distill beauty into its most essential form, so they remain timeless long after the moment has passed.

I take time to understand your story, your brand, and the emotions you want to evoke. From there, we shape a creative direction together — mood, setting, tone — before translating it into imagery. On set, I balance structure with intuition, allowing space for the unexpected while staying true to the vision. The final series is curated with care, each image chosen to reflect the essence we set out to capture.

asked questions

How do you approach a new project?

Every collaboration begins with listening. I spend time understanding your brand, your vision, and the emotions you want to evoke before translating it into imagery.

Do you only work in black and white?

Black and white is central to my style, but I also work in muted, organic tones when it best serves the story. The final direction depends on the project and its narrative.

Where are you based? Do you travel?

I’m based in Portland (Maine), but my work often takes me to cities, deserts, and landscapes across the US, Canada, Europe and beyond. Travel is always possible for the right project.

Do you accept personal commissions?

Yes. Alongside editorial and fine art, I collaborate on select personal projects where the story aligns with my vision.

How far in advance should I book?

For editorial campaigns, 2–3 months ahead is ideal. Fine art commissions may require more flexibility depending on scale and scope.
