Biography
My studies of literature and poets gave rise to a fascination with photography. A short leap
from imagery to images. It is possible to peer closer and sharper than my eyes can see, to
blur the world in a way my eyes cannot, even to watch an entire season’s thunderstorms all
in the blinking of a butterfly’s wing.
I have spent time pursuing commercial work in New York and São Paulo, Brazil, learning
technique, detail and discipline. Every project has influenced me; every click has been an
essential capture in the long march of becoming an ever better photographer, an ever better
human. Seeing. Then watching. Then trying to know.
In my personal work, pictures have been a way for me to connect with the world and to
better understand my place in it. I try to seek out beauty in everything. This may be some-
thing that is entirely subjective to the observer, but I think there is nothing in the world
that is not beautiful. The more surprising the beauty, the more arresting and potentially
profound it can be.
Time is also important, and it is becoming more and more relevant to my work. I would
photograph things, and moments or years later, they would feel different in my mind or
exist differently (or not exist at all) in the world. My work with timelapse has come out of
a desire to better observe how things change in time by compressing its scale and allowing
the unseeable to be freely seen.
