Street photography and socially engaged photography. I focus on documenting everyday life, especially in communities that are often overlooked. I’m particularly passionate about photographing endangered heritage sites to raise awareness and contribute to their preservation. I also collaborate with nonprofit organizations, using visual storytelling as a tool to support their missions and amplify impact.

I find inspiration in the streets—within the resilience of everyday people and their constant effort to adapt, survive, and create meaning. I’m drawn to small, often unnoticed moments where people solve problems with creativity and dignity. These human stories shape my work and push me to capture authenticity in its rawest form.

I would invest in developing my social photography project, Athens Lens, which focuses on supporting and documenting communities in Southeast Ohio. The funding would allow me to expand the project’s reach, collaborate with local organizations, and build a small team of creatives. My goal is to create a scalable model that can be replicated in other regions—using photography not just as art, but as a tool for community engagement and social impact.
