I never go anywhere without my camera. Having it with me is a reminder to be present, an invitation to treasure special moments with friends and family that may otherwise leave little trace behind. I like to share these intimate memories of connection and celebration, preserving their emotions intact. My photography work draws great inspiration from the atmospheres and visual language of artists such as William Eggleston and Nan Golden. Taking after their suggestions, I offer the viewer a window on my personal life and the chance of connecting to the scenes and people portrayed through their own personal experience.
