About Me

Film, Light, and Life: From Coastal Mornings to City Streets

I’m a film photographer from the Jersey Shore, where the ocean, boardwalks, and sunrises sparked my desire to capture these moments. I actually started my photography journey shooting digital, learning the basics of composition and light. But as I kept going, I found myself drawn more and more to film—the way it holds a certain mood, texture, and atmosphere that just doesn’t quite translate with digital.

These days, I mainly shoot with a Leica M4-P and a Pentax 6x7, two cameras that help me slow down and really think about each frame. I’m drawn to coastlines, beach scenes, and street photography—places and moments that tell a story through light, texture, and emotion. I love Kodak Gold and kodak Portra film for their warm tones and beautiful color rendition, but I’m always curious to experiment with new films to see what fresh looks I can find.

Travel has become a huge part of my creative process. I make regular trips to New York City, which is one of my favorite places to shoot. The energy, the diversity, and the small, candid moments on the streets keep inspiring me. But honestly, the coastlines are where I feel most at home. I love being out there in the early mornings, capturing the sunrise over the water—it’s a quiet, powerful time that always feels special.

Beyond cities and coasts, I’m also deeply inspired by nature, especially America’s national parks. Photographing these vast, wild spaces on film feels like a way to slow down and really appreciate their timeless beauty. Through my work, I hope to share that beauty with others and encourage a sense of respect and care for these precious places so they can be preserved for generations to come.

For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about paying attention, being present, and connecting with the world around me. Whether I’m wandering city streets, hiking through a forest, or watching the sunrise by the ocean, my camera helps me slow down and see the small, quiet moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
