Bodies of Work

Current Series

Beyond the Veil

An ongoing photographic exploration emerging from The Grain Project. Beyond the Veil revolves around a simple idea: a normal image that contains a subtle disturbance. The body appears calm and elegant, almost classical. Yet something remains slightly unstable. A fragment is missing. A face disappears. A gesture feels incomplete.

The image seems familiar, but something prevents it from settling into a comfortable reading. This small fracture within the image is central to the work, transforming the photograph into a space of hesitation between form and presence.

Visual Language

The Grain Project

A laboratory of visual language based on grain, abstraction and darkroom experimentation. The Grain Project develops a framework for working with the photographic image as matter, where grain becomes structure and the hand guides every decision.

This ongoing research feeds into all other bodies of work, particularly Beyond the Veil, where the visual language developed here begins to encounter the human figure.

Early Work

Human Trajectories

A street photography series shot on analog film across ten years of travel. Candid encounters with people and environments, capturing the serendipity of movement and chance. Street photography about being in the right place at the right time, but also about creating those moments through instinct and openness to the world.
