For me, a photographed image is not merely a record; it is a site where multiple perspectives and sensations intersect and emerge. Directing my gaze toward another person is not simply an act of seeing them visually. Rather, it is an attempt to sense the subtle presences and layers of memory that dwell within them—an experience that simultaneously reflects back onto myself.

My heart isn’t prepared for that. And if someone asked me to wander a city and attempt street photography, I’m fairly certain I’d break out in hives.

Intuitively making work. I have to go out into the world and just photograph. Everything else will come.

I’d say that letting go of any preconceived notions of what kind of photographer that I SHOULD be and let myself be the photographer I want to be.

Feeling motivated by an event that captivates my attention. If I feel that it hits me, that it moves me, that it paralyzes my heart and raises questions, I start working.

#WildWithSoul
I deeply want my photos to capture not just the wild, but the soul within it. Something raw, emotional, and real.
