About the work

Photography as an act of witness

Over fifteen years of working in documentary and editorial photography has taught me one thing: the photograph that matters is the one taken a half-second before or after the one you planned to take.

I work with available light, with stillness, with the profound ordinariness of how people move through the world. My clients include The New Yorker, TIME, and editorial houses across Europe and North America.
