THe Reasons I Work
In 2010 I enter my 20th year of being a photographer. I began by studying at Yale and served my early career time thoroughly investigating the world around me. I continued to document through my travels in Mexico, when I became passionately fascinated with the tradition bullfighting. Then, after a year in Tusacny, where I photographed daily and developed film in a makeshift farmhouse darkroom, I relocated to New York and worked and studied at SVA where I solidified my aesthetic and followed in the traditions of Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Tine Barney, three greats whose work I try to emulate every day. Now, nearly two decades later, my own accomplishments include my work being collected by the Corcoran, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Center for Photography at Woodstock, the New York Public Library, and most recently, The Library of Congress. Recently, Agnes Gund purchased one of my pieces for her private collection. My work has been published in Vogue, Modern Bride, The New York Times Magazine and Harper’s Bazaar, to name only a few.
