Artist Statement: I use film photography to document the unscripted, fleeting realities of the human experience. My work spans across different genres such as photojournalism, street, documentary, and concert. Working exclusively with analog formats forces intention, relying on patience and intuition to capture a scene. Based in Dayton, my photographs serve as a visual record of life as it happens.
