How often do you find yourself in front of a camera? Once a year? Once every five years? Or maybe… just once in a lifetime? But it doesn’t really matter whether it’s your first shoot or your fifth, it’s definitely not something that happens every weekend.
We usually turn to a photographer for a special reason - a wedding, the birth of a child, a long-awaited visit from loved ones, or simply a unique inner state we want to see more clearly and be able to return to.
And it’s important to treat this moment with a certain tenderness, reverence, and curiosity. These, and a few other, qualities are at the heart of my work. I still come to every shoot like it’s my first: meeting people with the intention of being a clean, open page, ready to let my own vulnerabilities meet theirs.
My photography is telling the story of a person's love for a person, for their body, their own, and the other's. It is a story of accepting oneself, one's being, and others as they are. It is a story of beauty and of love itself in its essence, which "never ceases."
