RADwood is an automotive lifestyle event celebrating the 80s and 90s. in 2023 RADwood hosted an event in San Franciso proper. With the help of Chuy & Parker I was able to attend.

Reworked was initially a photo concept I created as an attempt to externalize my feelings about my personal fashion consumption. In the end it allowed me to connect with a designer Michael Jet who creates pieces using found fabrics. After meeting for a meal and talking about his process, these are the photos we took.

This photoshoot was a fun collaboration with Ian Johnson who had reached out with the proposal to photograph a work bag that he had designed & built using recycled materials.

Parker over the years has built my love for cars through his passion. His care and enjoyment of his Golden E30 has kept my eyes on an E30 of my own. Here are some images we captured in the hills of Oakland.

The Colors Project is a celebration of both the people within the photos and the locations they were taken. Drawing inspiration and guidance from the colors of the background, I work in collaboration with the models to bring the colors as close as possible to one another within the model's available wardrobe. Through the use of fashion as a personal form of expression, the models are able to present their unique style to the viewer. In a way, the colors project serves as a stage for expression, not only for those who are shown within the photographs but for all who look at these photos and see themselves. Growing up in San Francisco, I've always been surrounded by sources of inspiration. The incredible people, the colorful buildings, and the seemingly endless forms of expression. I’ve found that these things have played a significant role in making me the artist I am today. For the past four years, I have been working on the Colors project and while I don’t see an end to the project this page will allow folks to follow how & where it's going.

This was one of my first photoshoots where I could direct more than one car. I feel like I grew up with these cars, the same two people who were with me for my first car photoshoot were driving the two cars I was lucky enough to photograph this day.

Abstracting the Urban was a project I worked on during the Covid pandemic. Because in-person photoshoots were on hold I instead chose to explore the buildings around me with a focus of abstraction.

Throughout the Covid pandemic I wanted to find a way to capture portraits in a safe way. The result was setting up my iPad around my house and using Facetime as a way to bridge the gap. With the help of Bella, Larissa, Mouminatou, & Satya I was able to experiment with a whole new set of variables. Things like screen glare, internet connection, and finger smudges to name a few but in the end, it was an incredible experience. Here are some of the photos from those shoots.

In 2018 as a highschooler I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a National Geographic Student Expeditions Trip. This marked for me the first time I'd operated in a photo-oriented schedule. My time in Japan was spent eating incredible food, taking photos, learning about what the Nat Geo standard was, and most of all immersing myself in the amazing world that was Tokyo & Kyoto Japan.

I'm still figuring out how I want to format my film work but in the meantime I'll be uploading some photographs in this collection.
