PHOTOGRAPHY
I shoot digital photos with my trusty DSLR, and love experimenting with black & white film.

“I Spy” (Self Portrait, Digital)
Best Individual Image, American University Visions Awards 2023
Artist’s Statement
This self-portrait was inspired by Walter Wick’s photographs in the “I Spy” children’s books. Each one of the small items represents an aspect of my identity. To create this image, I arranged the objects on a piece of plexiglass and sat underneath the glass directly beneath the camera. I used a polarizing filter to minimize reflections, creating the illusion that the objects are floating.
PHOTO ESSAY
“A Strange Journey” is a photo essay (15 photos with captions) that celebrates the vibrant subculture of midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is a layered visual experiment that explores the interactivity between the film, performers, audience, and now, my camera. The photos feature DC’s local Rocky Horror shadow cast, the Sonic Transducers.
Film
In my Principles of Photography course for my MFA at American University, I had the opportunity to shoot and develop black and white film. I used the analog medium to create experimental portraits.
