I have been looking and watching, and seeing for many years, but it wasn’t until my mid 20’s, after years of modeling, that photography found me, and showed me a way to express my vision and to tell stories. I love people, and I love to document and photograph everything from street life, portraits,fashion,travel, as well as commercial work. The people who have inspired me most are the people I meet everywhere I go on the streets, the shadows, the invisible homeless, who seem un self aware, and child like…To this day, the memories that I recall the most while photographing, are the homeless veterans living on the streets all over America, and the homeless women, eating out of the bins, as well as the homeless of Paris. How sweet and happy they were to hang out with me and just talk a bit. It took a while for most to trust me enough to photograph them so up close and personal….I am working on a book on the subject, a on going process. I am based in NYC.
