The person behind the performance. We all learn to present ourselves. A smile. A posture. A version of who we think we should be. I'm interested in what happens when that disappears. When silence settles in. When the conversation slows. When someone forgets the camera is there. That's where I begin. I don't chase perfect expressions or carefully constructed moments. I'm looking for character. For the marks life leaves behind. For the honesty that quietly reveals itself between light and shadow. Photography, for me, isn't about making people look beautiful. It's about making them feel real.
