The Last Sinn
The Last Sinn is an ongoing series focusing on how society interacts with the idea of life and how people interpret it in different ways. Born from the experience of losing my mother to breast cancer when I was thirteen, I have always had a hyper-aware experience with finiteness of life. The photographs, which are of a poetic relationship to mortality, dealing with loss, legacy, and finding beauty in life, represent my own inner thoughts, experiences, and outlooks on my past, present, and future.
Freddie
On April 19, 2015, a young Baltimore resident by the name of Freddie Gray died from injuries sustained in police custody a week prior. The death, which was certainly nothing new with the Baltimore Police Department, sparked outrage and sadness in the community of Sandtown-Winchester, where Freddie lived. These photos depict the response and reactions from citizens over the following two weeks.
I'm Going to Montana to Rest My Soul
I'm going to Montana to spend the winter
I hear the snows are deep up there and the winds are cold
Way out there the blues will never find me
Oh I'm going to Montana to rest my soul

The Queens of Baltimore
Spanning the last few years, The Queens of Baltimore focuses on the long tradition of drag in Baltimore. The project originally stemmed from my desire to learn and understand more about the history, the committment, and the culture of those that perform.
The Advocate and the Critic
A selection of photos from my series The Advocate and the Critic, which covers the span of about 6 months in 2018, including a 2-week solo road from Baltimore through the American south in an attempt to rediscover myself and the way I connect with photography.
