About Me
About me...
Based in the Greater Boston Area, I am a landscape photographer who finds inspiration in the vast, quiet spaces of nature. My journey with photography began in college and has since become a central part of how I experience the world.
The beginning...
I discovered photography during my sophomore year of college, starting with the technical basics—ISO, shutter speed, aperture. What began as an exercise in mechanics soon evolved into a creative pursuit. Drawing inspiration from photographers like Thomas Heaton, I found my voice in landscape photography. But it was an advanced photography course that introduced me to the world of film and darkroom processes, reshaping how I approach the craft.
Experimentation and growth...
My time in the darkroom taught me to slow down and embrace the imperfections of film. From crafting pinhole cameras out of cardboard to developing prints by hand, the process revealed new ways to connect with the art form. These tactile experiments tested my ability to compose and expose accurately, pushing me toward shooting film almost exclusively.
Looking back, these experiences shaped not only my technical skills but also my creative philosophy. Without that course, I might never have fallen in love with film photography.
My style...
To me, photography is about more than capturing landscapes—it’s about translating emotion. Each frame is a unique, unalterable moment that reflects not just what I saw but how it felt. Shooting on film allows me to preserve the integrity of these moments, honoring the natural beauty of the scene with minimal post-processing.
Influenced by the balance and harmony of physics concepts, I approach each scene with a deep consideration for composition. Like Archimedes’ Law of the Lever, I strive to achieve equilibrium in my photographs, where every element contributes to the whole.
Some random thoughts...
"Practice does not make perfect."
"Practice without thinking is a waste of time and effort."
"Perfection can never be achieved because there is always room to grow."
"If a stunning view cannot compose a balanced photograph, perhaps it’s better to simply enjoy it with your eyes. Put your camera down!"
