Originally made for a photography class assignment, this photo turned into a social justice piece as I kept building the set.
Underground Jesus
A while ago my friends and I decided to explore and photograph a long abandoned railroad tunnel.
Illuminated
In this image I captured the path of the light arcing through the air. It illuminates the contour of the girl's body and ends in a bird in flight.
The Touch of Life
Touch of Life represents the symbiotic relationship between an artist and their art. It is a take on Michelangelo's “The Creation of Adam” where God breathes life into Adam, the first man.
Banana Bobsled
Created using a banana, paper cups, and mini figurines, "Banana Bobsled" is a whimsical photo that aims to capture the imagination of the viewer.

“Trapped in Silence” shows the feeling of being unable to speak or express yourself.
Salineras de Maras
I captured this photo on a trip to Peru, visiting the “Salineras de Maras,” or salt mines, of Cusco.

For this image, I wanted to create an abstract image that used long exposure and lights to make a scene that couldn't be seen in the real world.
Hello, World
In "Hello, World," I leave the version of myself who holds the paintbrush unfinished.
