Photography style & work

Practice spans commercial/lifestyle portrait work alongside fine-art and documentary-leaning personal projects. 'Windows' documents isolation and domestic life during COVID-19 lockdown in Houston, Texas. 'The 544' is a more experimental, process-based project using cyanotype printing to create figurative memorial images for 544 psychiatric patients murdered by the Nazis in Latvia in 1941.
