About
I'm a self-taught photographer and videographer. My father used to photograph me and my brother growing up, and watching him do that, just because he loved us enough to document it, is what put a camera in my hands in the first place.

I've shot over a hundred sessions since picking up a camera in 2020, and every one of them has reinforced the same thing: this craft was never short on talent, just access. Choosing to be seen on your own terms, in your own light, is its own form of resistance — and giving people that chance is the work I want to keep doing.

My work has introduced me to new people, and has handed me experiences I never expected. A family portrait sitting on my Caribbean grandmother's coffee mug still means more to me than any print I've ever framed.

This is actually my second career. And the best part hasn't changed: meeting someone new, and getting the chance to hold their story for a little while.
See you soon.

The Art of Noticing
The Art of Noticing
"Time doesn't wait for anyone to notice it passing. But every so often, someone does — and for a fraction of a second, they hold the door open. "
I believe in the "Art of Noticing."
Time doesn't wait for anyone to notice it passing. But every so often, someone does — and for a fraction of a second, they hold the door open. Small slices of time that linger a bit longer than usual.
That's the art. Not the camera. The noticing. That's the vision.
