Photography Projects
Experience "504-907," my MFA thesis series, offering a thought-provoking diptych exploration of everyday life in Interior Alaska and Southern Louisiana. Spanning three years, these meticulously curated images invite viewers to delve into a visual dialogue, unraveling the cultural juxtapositions between the unique landscapes. Through the diptych form, this series stimulates a contemplative engagement, fostering a compelling comparison between the two distinct yet interconnected regions.
Embark on a transformative exploration with the "Yellow Chair Series," a collection of medium format and 35mm ethnographic portraits. Departing New Orleans for Alaska triggered a profound revelation—prompting a passionate quest to authentically encapsulate the New Orleans' essence through portraiture and interviews. These visuals and words document the enduring impact of disaster on New Orleans' communities and individuals, offering a poignant platform for introspection, emotional healing, and a resounding chorus for the voices and stories of its vibrant inhabitants.
Shrouded Light is a Digital Infrared Photography series that veils subjects in the surreal palette of Infrared light. This exploration juxtaposes the untamed expanses of America, such as Great Basin National Park and Alaska with urban landscapes like Houston and New Orleans, capturing the interwoven complexities between modernity and the natural realm. The vibrant reds, pinks, and oranges offer an intriguing duality—simultaneously alluring in their aesthetic beauty while possibly signaling the darker implications of urban encroachment on the wild.
