Model. Occasionally a writer. Perpetually something else entirely.

I make images that feel like the moment before something breaks. Or after. The lighting is usually better after.

My work explores the tension between presence and absence, the moments just before or after something great or terrible happens. The lighting is usually better after.

Based occasionally in the Northeast. Available sometimes for things.

What I Actually Do

I model. I write sometimes. I take pictures of myself and occasionally of other things. I think a lot about why images matter and whether they do.

Simone Weil wrote that attention is the rarest form of generosity. I think she was right. Every image is a kind of attention. Every look costs something.
