Dreamy, filmic, vivid. A style that carries through every medium.

A bit about me

 

The aesthetic of film has always attracted me. It's dreamy, it's imperfect, it's so lifelike. Even though I primarily shoot on digital cameras now (I still have a 35mm film camera!), I strive to embody the warmth and memorable look of film in my photography. As a graduate of the Rutgers University filmmaking program, I extend that philosophy to my video work as well. Everything I shoot looks like it belongs in a film.
