Every great photo already exists in some form, and it’s our job as photographers to find them. My experience with art is based on exploring the world and discovering new ways to document it. Each creative choice I make is informed by my interests, mainly film and music. I always try to incorporate something unique to me in my projects, whether it be an editing style or even song lyrics. It’s an intensely personal process, but I pride myself on my ability to execute a client’s vision while still remaining authentic to my style. Whether it be a photo, a design or even an advertising campaign, the best version of a project exists out in the ether somewhere, and I think the journey to find it is why we became artists in the first place.
