ABOUT ME

“Look closer. This isn’t what you thought it was. Sit with it longer.”

​

I photograph the point where perception slips and a scene begins to read as something else. Shadow carries structure. Color holds a charge. Scale slips until the ordinary feels vast. I work slowly in the field and precisely in the studio so the picture reflects how the moment felt. Editing serves the memory of that moment, not a literal record.

​

The throughline is tension, beauty and threat, recognition and abstraction, nature and something more than natural. Many photographs choose prettiness or pure abstraction. I stay with the space between. Most people stop at the surface and want easy answers. This work asks you to stay with complexity.

​

This is not a pastime. It is a necessity. I left work that flattened meaning because there was no room for the interpretive space I crave. These pictures hold that space open. They invite a second reading, then a third, until the subject becomes more than it first appeared.

​

I photograph across the West and live in Sonoma County: redwoods, coastlines, volcanic stone, mountain weather. Fog that turns a road into a corridor. Rock that remembers heat. Charred wood that suggests a hidden city rising from fire. These are transmissions built to live large on a wall and hold a room without telling you what to see.

​

They will find their place with people who want something commanding, less obvious, less disposable. If one stays with you, let it slow you down and give you somewhere to stand inside the image.
