Light, held still
long enough to read.

Editorial and conceptual photography from a deliberately small studio. Nine commissions a year, every rig built by hand, every edition printed in-house.

Philosophy

“A photograph is a decision about what to exclude. Everything else — the gear, the lighting, the retouch — is administration.”

I do not chase moments. I build the conditions in which a moment becomes unavoidable, then I wait for it with the shutter already cocked. Most of my work happens before the camera is switched on — scouting a wall that holds light for thirty minutes a day, welding a rig out of salvaged greenhouse glass, taping a tripod to a studio floor so the same chair can be photographed eleven months apart. The picture is the receipt.
