I am currently located in Los Angeles, California, but I will go anywhere for a story.

By schooling, I am a photojournalist, but I consider myself more of a documentarian. Because the aim of my work - is to document. I want the image to have transpired whether I was there or not. 

Journalism school instilled this core value in me about the importance of how your presence shouldn’t change the environment you’re in, that whatever is transpiring in front of you still would have happened if you weren’t there. 

Essentially, it captures a moment to save for generations later. 

So that in a few decades or generations, they’d be able to look at these images and be able to transport themselves into that moment. That’s all contingent on if this world is still spinning in a few decades, with the looks of how it’s going…?

But that’s the perfect segue. 

Documentarians are conservationists in a way. We are protecting a moment - making sure there is a version of it in the future. That’s a big direction I can feel my work is taking me, conservation in its many facets. I am not going to box myself in a particular type of conservation; instead, let’s stick with “preservation and protection" of what specifically? Well, stick around and find out.
