The Light Writes Back

I’m an American photographer exploring light, memory, and presence. Since 2005, I’ve been documenting stories with a distinctive visual language: minimal, emotional, and human. 

My work has appeared in; Vogue Spain, WSJ, ESPN, Condé Nast, Martha, and more. I’ve built for Adobe, VSCO, DVLOP, and A Fist Full of Bolts.

Named one of American Photo’s Top Ten Photographers in the World and recognized as a PDN Rising Star, I’m based in Seattle and available worldwide.

Silence & Signal

Some moments don’t shout, they wait. They slip between frames. I’m drawn to that quiet space: the stillness before the spark, the feeling beneath the surface. That's where the work lives; In the proof that something happened and mattered.

Transmission

This is where the signal becomes conversation. When the frequency lands, the conversation begins.

Silence. Signal. Soul. Light writes back. What you thought was gone is still speaking.
