About this site
I belong to the last generation of photographers who learned to see in silver halide before we ever saw in pixels.
My journey began at age 13, when my father gifted me a Nikon F. With this (already vintage at the time) frame in my hand, a world of 35mm possibilities opened ahead of me. I had my first darkroom when I was 15, obsessed with the slow alchemy of black and white chemistry. Then, I watched the world turn digital. I was there for the transition; the excitement of the first DSLRs, the growing pains of the technology, and the eventual mastery of the medium.
Today, my workflow is a deliberate fusion of those two worlds.
The Precision of Today
For my fashion, swimwear, and editorials, I demand the absolute peak of modern technology. Shooting with the Nikon Z9 paired with the top-tier S-Line glass allows me to capture split-second movement and skin textures with a clarity that was once a pipe dream. It is high-performance photography for a high-speed world.
The Soul of the Darkroom
But precision isn't everything. My roots remain in the grain. I still reach for that same Nikon F for 35mm work, but my passion for the tangible has pushed me into the expansive world of Medium Format, 4x5, and 8x10 Large Format.
There is a meditative quality to large-format photography, especially in classic portraiture that digital cannot replicate. In the darkroom, time slows down. Every print is a handcrafted labor of love, a physical artefact in a digital age.
