I create art through photography, for selfish reasons. It makes my brain feel free and without constraints. I love the excitement I feel.

I love capturing special moments for people, but my favorite work is when someone is ready to create something different. I’m drawn to dark, moody imagery and that moment when a model fully lets go, feels comfortable, and steps into the vision with me.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from everyday things. It can be something as simple as driving to work and noticing a tree, or watching a movie and getting a feeling that makes me want to create something around it. I am inspired by mood, light, emotion, and those small moments that spark an idea. I also love cocreating with other photographers and artists, taking their vibe and vision and translating it through my own point of view.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in both my photography and the creative community I hope to build around it. I would use the funding for new gear, larger-scale shoots, and to begin creating a cohort-style space where photographers can collaborate, experiment, and grow together. It would give me the freedom to take bigger artistic risks, create more intentionally, and build something meaningful that supports not just my own work, but other artists as well.
