About

I am a documentary photographer whose work explores place, labor, and the quiet rituals that shape everyday American life. My projects are rooted primarily in the South, the Midwest, and the Appalachian regions, where history, identity, and resilience are deeply intertwined. I am drawn to communities and spaces rich in history and sometimes overlooked—front porches, small businesses, rural towns, and local gathering places where stories are lived and passed down.

My practice is grounded in long-form visual storytelling built on trust, time, and presence. I work closely with the people I photograph, allowing narratives to unfold naturally rather than imposing them. I’m interested in moments of stillness and dignity—the in-between spaces that reveal how people live, work, and belong. For me, photography is less about spectacle and more about honesty. I am particularly interested in cultural institutions and community anchors—juke joints, family-run businesses, and working landscapes—that function as living archives. These places hold memory, tradition, and identity, and I see my work as a way of documenting how they continue to evolve while remaining rooted in the land and the people who sustain them.

Alongside my photographic practice, I have a background in digital product leadership, which informs my research-driven and intentional approach to documentary work. I bring structure and clarity to each project while remaining open to discovery, letting the human experience lead.

My work is ongoing throughout the South, Midwest, and Appalachia, focusing on stories that are deeply local yet universally human.
