purgatory: a short film
PHOTOGRAPHYAlongside being a performing artist, I am also a dedicated film photographer. My craft finds it’s heartbeat in the bustling streets of New York City and the beautiful people who I connect with in the performing arts community. Specializing in both portraiture and street photography, my lens serves as a conduit for the captivating stories and diverse characters that weave through the fabric of the city. Each photograph captures the essence of the city's dynamic spirit, from the candid moments of everyday life to the theatrical personalities that unfold on it’s stages.
With a keen eye for composition and an innate ability to capture the authenticity of my subjects, I strive to create images that resonate with viewers on a visceral level. Whether it's a candid street scene bathed in the golden light of dawn or a striking portrait that reveals the raw emotions of its subject, my work invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of life in NYC and the profound connections forged within its vibrant performing arts community. Through my photographs, I invite you to experience the essence of New York City through the lens of my passion for portraiture and street photography.
