At fifteen I began my career as a model working in Japan, Europe, and South Africa and I quickly realized the camera could be my closest companion to help me document and make sense of each step of my journey. I found that even if I was in a foreign country, photography could act as a universe language to express myself and communicate with the faces and places that I was getting to know. I’m deeply passionate about creating a supportive environment to empower my subject to feel confident to shine in. I consider it a great honor to get to know a part of someones story, and try to capture their essence in an honest and natural way.
I am based in Venice, California and have worked with brands such as Esker Beauty, WMN Space, Mother Muse Magazine, Pondicherie, Ansea, Vitruvi, Goop, Violet Grey and Stephen Kenn for Basenotes Magazine.
