My documentary photographic practice is rooted in the street. My process is intuitive and usually involves countless hours of walking around cities looking for everyday spaces and surfaces that are quiet and seemingly ordinary yet charged with emotion and humanity. Photographing these spaces is a search for understanding; I am constantly working in the space between knowledge and curiosity, and I am fascinated with the spaces we create, how we are affected by them, and how they change over time. I started my career working as a photojournalist, but was often frustrated with the inherent ambiguity of photographs, and with the fact that how a photograph is interpreted is often has more to do with the viewer than with the photographer. Drawing from my early career experiences as a photojournalist, as well as the many things I’ve learned from my students, I’ve come to realize that ambiguity is in fact one of photography’s greatest strengths. Photographs are much better at asking questions than answering them. My recent work has eschewed traditional ideas of the photographic narrative. Instead I’m drawn to photography’s ability to stimulate the viewer to intuit a narrative out of disparate fragments. These photographs are meant to reflect our humanity, fragility and increasing social isolation in a time of global pandemic, climate change, racism and income inequality. This is a work in progress.
