„My models are my friends“

Captured raw elegance

I typically begin a photo project with a location that inspires me, and then choose my subject based on physical features, such as skin tone and body type, that I think will best serve the vision I have in my mind.

The human body fascinates me, and in particular the female form... there’s a raw elegance to the shapes and curves that’s undeniable. I think the classical painters captured this so well, and I hope to portray that rawness in my photographs.

Beauty at second sight

I’m interested in exploring femininity, and in capturing the journey toward self-discovery and self-acceptance. If you look at the photographs in the series, my subjects are usually presented in meditative, peaceful, or inward states.

I am attracted to people that have a subtle, unconventional beauty – a discoverable beauty. It’s the kind of beauty that you might not notice immediately or might forget quickly if you were to see the person only once, but which seems to evolve or increase over time with more exposure to the person and greater attention to their physical details.
