“Workers of D.C.”
When we think about workers, our minds may drift to the 9—5 banality of four sided white walls. In contrast, however, “Workers of D.C.” captures the beauty of everyday, often forgotten workers.
“& The Passerby”
“& The Passerby” challenges the viewer to better understand the rich, noble lives of those who pass them by. Each image portrays a piece of a person’s life in a single snapshot.
“Patterned”
This collection sees order imposed onto the natural landscape. “Patterned” is, at its core, a way of understanding the world as a gathering of design and shape.
“Light”
“Light” highlights the obscure in order to generate a new way of seeing. The dramatic lighting in this collection creates a new type of photo, one which could not have been achieved without the light.
“Alone on the Weekends”
This collection features a single subject seemingly participating in common activities enjoyed by friends. Shot akin to real photos taken during parties, the viewer might initially view these images as though authentic; however, as soon as the illusion is established, it is shattered again. Each of these photos features only one subject, edited in different poses to appear as though part of a large gathering. And so, though she appears to be in the midst of a party, she is indeed “alone on the weekends.”
Videography Work: Scene Recreation
As an exercise in scene recreation, myself and two others (Shana Struski and Alexis Lein) recreated the final scene of Robbert Eggers “The Lighthouse.” This scene was directed, edited and acted by me, and exemplifies the kind of “strange and creative” factors I value in my work.
